Mammoth Melting Sugar Snow Pea

Seed Count: Approx. 15 Seeds Days to Maturity: 70 Days Description: The Mammoth Melting Sugar Pod Pea is a hardy, high yielding, cool weather annual that's not only tasty, but produces beautiful white flowers lovely enough to use as cut flowers.  These tender, 5 inch long, sweet, stingless pods grow on tall 4-6 ft. plants, and will require a trellis.  Mammoth Melting Sugar Snow Pea pods are great for fresh snacking right off the vine, added to stir fries, soups, or salads, steamed, canned, or frozen.  This variety is wilt resistant, prefers cooler temperatures (60-75 F), and frost hardy with a little protection.   How To Grow Sowing:  Because peas thrive in cool weather and do not transplant well, they should be planted outside 4-6 weeks before the last frost or when the average soil temperature reaches at least 40 degrees F.  If planting later, remember that most peas won't tolerate weather above 75 degrees F.  Plant seeds 2 inches apart and 2 inches deep, in light soil and full sun.
