I (Heart) Snap Peas!
The summer snap peas are still coming in, though it looks like the plants are on its last legs. So I sowed a whole bunch of seeds for a fall harvest. I'm really loving the taste of these snap peas. The variety I am growing is called Sugar Ann Snap Pea and the seeds I bought from Sustainable Seed Company. They are on sale right now for $1.99 a packet. The peas themselves don't actually look like the photo on their website, mine look much more skinnier. However, the taste is outstanding. It's perfectly sweet and crunchy. All summer I only picked a handful at a time, I thought 10 plants would be suffice, but now I know I have to plant like the whole seed packet to get the kind of volume of harvest I'm looking for. I like to eat these raw as a snack. Or stir fried. If you like snap peas, I definitely recommend trying these!

They look great to me! I love snap peas too - wish I had been able to grow them this year!
ReplyDeleteI always dig them out. One of those things I just can't get past the texture.
ReplyDeleteThey look great - I'm planning to try some fall peas too and was wondering when I should sow. I guess now is a good time!!?
ReplyDelete@RedGardenClogs, it's not too late to plant a fall harvest. Mine are in a shady part of the garden and they do pretty well.
ReplyDelete@Jen, yes, start sowing now, you'll be picking peas by end of August!
