Pea Edible Pod Sugar Snap is an incredibly versatile and delicious vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. This heirloom variety produces sweet, tender, edible pods that are packed with flavor. The sweet peas are easy to grow and require minimal care, making them perfect for beginner gardeners.

The Latin name for this variety is Pisum sativum. It is a cool season crop that should be planted in the early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep and 1-2 inches apart in loose, well-draining soil. For best results, mix in compost or aged manure before planting.

This pea variety prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Mulching around the plants will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Peas are very susceptible to diseases so it is important to practice crop rotation and avoid planting them in the same spot year after year.

Harvesting can begin when the pods are plump and full but before they start to get tough and stringy. Pick the pods often to encourage more production. The entire plant will die off once temperatures reach 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's best to harvest all of the peas before then.
