Instructions:
Sugar Daddy Sugar Snap peas are a stringless variety and is great eaten fresh. They're best planted in early spring and harvested before the weather gets too warm. They can use a bit of nitrogen in the soil when planted, but as they grow they will start to produce and release their own nitrogen.
