I was excited to stumble upon this variety of snap peas because I wanted to have something fun for my toddler to help me harvest later in the season. I meant to wait until later in the summer to start these, but got my seed packet mixed up with the pole beans while planting, and ended up putting these in my garden bed in late July. I soaked the peas overnight before putting them in the ground. So far, I have had perfect germination, and the young sprouts appear happy. We will see how these perform over the rest of the summer!
