Sugar Sprint Pea Seeds For Planting (Pisum sativum)

Do you love snap peas? Then sprint to the Sugar Sprint! This snap pea (Pisum sativum) is an early producer and bears numerous three-inch deliciously sweet pods over an extended harvest period. Pods spring out two per node, remain fresh on the vine longer than most other varieties and are virtually stringless. Sugar Sprint is a bush variety, so it is perfect for containers or space-efficient gardens. This 26-inch variety does like a little support, however, so a short trellis is always welcome. Planted in the garden, double rows with a trellis between conserves space, simplifies harvesting, and maximizes production. Sugar Sprint is heat tolerant, making it a good choice for both a spring and a fall crop. Peas do best in cool weather, so plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, then again in late summer as a fall crop. Harvesting the pods frequently keeps the plants producing. After harvesting the bounty, plow under the entire nitrogen-fixing plants to enrich the soil. Sug
