‘Sugar Ann’ is a delicious, exceptionally early, stringless snap pea. This bushy variety grows especially well in containers and small garden spaces. These versatile and ornamental 18 to 24-inch tall vines grow quickly and reward you with lots of crunchysweet 3-inch pods that make scrumptious, fresh-from-thevine snacks and fast stir fries. Train the little vines up short supports for easy picking. So much fun to grow with kids who love to eat them snapped fresh off the vine.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Start Seeds Outdoors
In early to mid-spring, plant peas in full sun in well-worked, fertile soil. Sow 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart. Protect from marauding birds with netting or floating row covers if necessary. Wet, cold early spring weather may affect germination, so if first sowing doesn’t germinate evenly, replant right away: new seedlings catch up quickly. Sow again for a fall crop, several months before fall frosts.
For Containers
Plant in pots at least 15 to 18 inches in diameter and 12 inches deep. Sow 1 inch apart, 1 inch deep. When seedlings are 2 to 3 inches, thin to 3 inches apart, so each little vine has growing room. Provide 2 to 3 feet tall supports or a short trellis at planting time. Mulch to conserve moisture. Feed with all-purpose fertilizer every 2 to 3 weeks. If it gets hot, check and water containers daily; otherwise, water when the top inch of soil is dry. Water at base of the plants to avoid mildew.
Harvest and Use
Harvest only when peas are mature and rounded in the thick-walled, juicy pods for the best-developed flavor. Savor their sweet crunch fresh (kids especially love them!) as a snack or slice into salads. To cook quickly, sauté in a little oil just until pods turn a deeper green color.
