Snow peas in a casual survival garden!



 Snow peas, as pictured here make a wonderful addition to any garden. They are a legume and in so being, add nitrogen to the soil that will enrich crops that come after. Each 100 gram serving yields about 40 calories of energy. Just ten plants, which were seeded in late February, have now yielded close to half a pound of edible pods in late May which makes this plant a good producer in my book! Just make sure to supply a trellis that’s at least five feet high to give them some support! Also, make sure to use heirloom seed and allow a few pods to fully mature so that you have seed to sow in fall or during the early spring!
