Mammoth Melting Sugar
Among the largest available snow peas, these 10-13 cm (4-5") long pods are produced on 1.2m (4') tall plants that require a trellis. The large white flowers of this heirloom variety are pretty enough to use as cut flowers, and the pods are sweet and tender.
Matures in 70 days. (open pollinated seeds)
early and continuous

As a home gardener, I found Mammoth Melting Sugar Peas to be excellent for my purposes. Not only are they tolerant of cool/frosty spring weather (being peas) but they started podding early, generously, and continued until the frosty autumn weather didn\'t quite kill them, but made me feel less guilty about composting them so I could put the garden to bed. They do need trellising/netting, or else they make a joyfully tumbling mess to trip on. |
