Pisum sativum
Climbing, snow pea. Tender snow peas with unbeatable sweetness. Tender pods borne on 24-30” vines. Resistant to pea virus, common wilt, and powdery mildew.
Snow peas are a good source of fiber and protein and are popular in both East Asian and European cuisines. We love cooking them simply- stir frying them in butter and salt and eating them with our fingers. Cook them a little longer for blackened snow peas, or add cream for creamed snow peas.

Peas love a crowd, sow 1" apart along as soon as the ground can be worked in spring. Plant 1" deep at the base of a trellis such as a fence or net strung between two posts as vines grow tall. Plants will bear longer if planted early and pods are picked regularly before peas begin drying down.
Seed specs: 30 min.
