Snow Pea ‘Mammoth Melting’

Snow Peas are best enjoyed before the pods plump and fill up, however these do remain tender even with semi-filled pods. Snow Peas are also known as Chinese Sugar Peas as it’s believed they originated from Southwest Asia.

These plants are low maintenance and productive. Peas are a great cool season crop for the home garden and can be grown in all climates.

Once it starts producing pick regularly (e.g. every day or so) to prolong flowering and your harvests. When your plants are finished, cut off the stems at ground level and allow the roots to rot down and release nitrogen back into the soil, which can then be taken up by the following crop.

If sowing close to winter, transplanting can work well for allowing plants to get underway without experiencing significant losses from bug attacks. Always remain vigilant for hungry slugs, snails and caterpillars. APPROX SEEDS PER PACKET: HOME GARDEN ($3.90) 100 seeds
