Sugar Daddy Snap Peas Heirloom – Seeds

Description

Plant Overview:
Sugar Daddy heirloom snap peas are a gardener’s dream, combining exceptional flavor, productivity, and ease of growing. These vibrant green, stringless snap peas boast a sweet, crisp taste, making them perfect for snacking right off the vine or incorporating into your favorite dishes. They’re a compact, bushy variety that thrives in smaller spaces, making them an excellent choice for container gardening or raised beds.

Determinate or Indeterminate:
Determinate – This bush variety has a set growth limit, producing pods in a concentrated harvest window.

Planting and Care Instructions:

• When to Plant: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked or in late summer for a fall harvest. Peas prefer cooler weather.
• Spacing: Plant seeds 1-2 inches apart and about 1 inch deep. Rows should be spaced 18-24 inches apart.
• Sunlight Requirements: Full sun to partial shade.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and pod formation.
• Support: While Sugar Daddy peas are a bush variety, they may benefit from a small trellis or stake to keep them tidy and off the ground.
• Harvesting: Pods are ready to pick about 60-65 days after planting. Harvest when they are plump but still tender for the best flavor.

Fun Tidbit for Eating:
Sugar Daddy snap peas are delicious raw, steamed, or stir-fried. Try tossing freshly harvested pods into a salad, or blanch them briefly and serve with a creamy hummus or garlic aioli for an irresistible snack. You can even pickle them for a unique addition to charcuterie boards!

Plant Sugar Daddy peas, and enjoy the sweet satisfaction of homegrown goodness!
