Amish Snap Pea

Seed Count: Approx. 25 Seeds Days to Maturity: 70 Days Description: This superb snap pea was reportedly grown in the Amish community for a long time before present snap pea types. Vines are tall and grow to be about 5-6' tall. At Maturity they are covered in 2" translucent medium green pods, and yields over a 6-week period if constantly picked. It's delicate and sweet even when the seeds are developed.   Mint2Grow Tip:  The Amish snap pea is one of the tastier varieties of peas I've tried, although the blue podded pea is still my favorite.  It's sweet and crisp.  However, the shells do get tough once the peas start developing, so I would wait until the peas are bigger and use them as a shelling pea, if you miss a couple.  Even the peas, when developed, are quite tasty.  It definitely needs a trellis for support because these vines get long.   Even in my heat, they grew pretty tall and produced quite well.  It got so tall that it took over a frond of my dwarf coconut tree.
