Pisum sativum The first truly stringless podded pea Sow pea seeds outdoors in early spring for first crop, in late summer for fall crop Sunlight Needs: Full sun Ready to harvest in 65 days Annual vegetable for all growing zones from 1-11 A spring vegetable delight! Sugar Daddy is the first truly stringless edible podded snap pea. The 3\” deep green pods grow on 24\” vines. Grow peas in cool weather for the best flavor. Sow seeds in early spring and again in late summer when temperatures drop for a fall crop. 21g of seed To determine when to pick shell peas, check the pods by eye and feel. If the pea pod is round, has a nice sheen, and is bright green, it is ready. If the seeds have made ridges on the pod and the pods are dull green, it is past prime. You can pick snap and snow peas at any time but are tastiest when the pods still have some play around the peas when you squeeze the pods. Pick snow peas before the peas start to enlarge. If harvest exceeds immediate fresh use, you can freeze peas immediately after harvest to retain rich flavor. Blanch peas for two minutes in boiling water, drain, and then plunge into ice cold water for another two minutes. Drain again and loosely pack the peas into plastic freezer bags or containers. Use within 9 months for best quality. Peas can also be dried in a dehydrator and stored in a sealed canister for use in soups and stews.
