Sugar Ann
Extra early, incredibly sweet snap peas on short, 60cm (2') vines that don't require trellising. Excellent choice for smaller garden spaces. The bushy plants produce crisp, tasty, 6cm (2 1/2") pods, and have excellent resistance to enation and powdery mildew. 1984 AAS Winner and RHS Award Winner for Garden Merit.
Matures in 56 days. (open pollinated seeds)

Let me first say that this season has been terrible for peas. Bush peas refused to germinate, and the Sugar Ann\'s did not fair much better. My germination was approximately 45-60%. That being said, the peas that did come up proved to be nice, compact vines closer to bush peas than vines. On average we harvested between 8 and 12 pods per plant. Taste was good without being exceptional. Perhaps I was expecting something a little sweeter. The pods held up well under challenging conditions and perhaps the weather was the cause of slightly tough pods. Still, far, far superior than what you can get on a commercial level. |
