Growing Sugar Lace II Snap Peas in the Vegetable Garden
Direct sow Sugar Lace II snap peas as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. Sow seeds 1-2 inches deep and 1-2 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart. Cool, moist soil speeds germination; avoid waterlogging, which can cause seed rot. In many regions you can sow again in late summer for a fall crop.
These semi-leafless vines interlock tendrils and usually stand without support, but a low fence can keep rows tidy and make picking easier. Water consistently during flowering and pod set, and side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer if growth slows. Mulch to conserve moisture and keep soil temperatures even.
Harvesting of Sugar Lace II Snap Peas
Begin harvesting when pods are plump, bright green, and about 3.5 inches long, before seeds become overly swollen. Snap pods off gently with one hand while supporting the vine with the other. Frequent picking encourages continued flowering and extended harvests in both spring and fall plantings.
About Sugar Lace II Snap Pea Garden Seeds
Sugar Lace II is an improved snap pea with compact, semi-leafless vines that channel energy into heavy pod production. The stringless pods, set along the tops and sides of the vines for easy picking, have a distinctly sweet, crunchy snap-pea flavor. Strong disease resistance helps keep vines productive even in challenging pea weather.
Tips From Our Gardeners
"Succession sow a short row every couple of weeks at the start and end of pea season. Keep vines well-watered during bloom and pod fill, and pick often—your sweetest pods are usually the ones you harvest slightly on the young side."
