Sugar snap pea seeds from Mr Fothergill's produce sweet, fleshy edible pods that can be eaten whole when picked young. A tall climbing variety reaching 150cm, it is a versatile and rewarding crop for the home vegetable garden.
Sow into well-prepared soil and provide a trellis or frame for the climbing plants. Pick the pods young to eat raw in salads or lightly cooked; older pods may need stringing but remain good for cooking, and the crop suits deep freezing.
