Planting & Care
Sow sugar snap pea seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb. Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and pod development. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest pods when they are plump but before they become overly mature; regular picking encourages more production. For best flavor, pick in the morning when pods are crisp. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. With proper care, you'll enjoy a bountiful harvest of sweet, crunchy pods.
