Growing Tips
Plant Mammoth Melting Sugar Snow Peas in 1 inch of soil.
Ensure you have a sturdy support system for these peas because they grow tall and need support. Plant them in early spring, as this variety does not do well in colder temperatures. For a fall harvest, plant again in August. Harvest the huge pods when they are between 4-5 inches long12.
