An excellent choice for small gardens and containers! Sugar Ann peas only grow 2 ft. tall, and do not require a trellis. Incredibly sweet, crisp, fresh pods about 2″ long. I eat them right off the vine in the morning when they’re cool.

If any sugar snap peas make it in the house, store them in a container of water in the fridge to keep them crisp. Delicious raw, stir fried or lightly steamed. Kids love ’em.

Type: Vegetable

Height: 2 ft.

Planting: Peas prefer cool temperatures. Plant as soon as the soil can be worked, from later winter-early spring (container/raised bed soil warms up quicker!). Sow 1″ deep, 1-3″ apart. Try for a fall crop by planting again late summer if it’s not too hot

Harvest: 55-60 days
