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!
