How to Grow Super Sugar Snap Pea Seeds:
Super Sugar Snap is a cool-season, climbing snap pea that loves mild weather. Direct sow outdoors as soon as soil can be worked in early spring, or in late summer/early fall for a second crop where winters are mild. Peas don’t like transplanting, so sow straight into the garden. Plant seeds 2–3 cm (about 1 inch) deep and about 5 cm (2 inches) apart, then thin to 8–10 cm (3–4 inches). Choose full sun to light shade and well-drained soil enriched with compost. Install a trellis, net, or strings at planting time—vines grow 1.5–2 m (5–6 ft) and need support. Keep soil evenly moist until germination, usually 7–14 days in cool conditions.
How to Care for Super Sugar Snap Peas:
Water steadily, especially during flowering and pod fill; uneven moisture leads to fewer pods and tough peas, but soggy soil can rot roots. Mulch helps keep roots cool and moisture stable. Peas fix their own nitrogen, so don’t over-fertilize—too much nitrogen gives leaves instead of pods; a light compost top-dress or low-nitrogen veggie feed is enough. Guide vines onto the support as they grow and pick pods often when they’re plump but still crisp—frequent harvesting keeps the plant producing. Watch for aphids, powdery mildew, and caterpillars; good airflow, watering at soil level, and early treatment with water spray or gentle soap keep issues low. Once heat arrives, production drops, so plan to grow them in the cool season for the sweetest, crunchiest snaps.
