I have a question for all you experienced vegetable gardeners. [View all]

Mr. Diamond has planted a backyard vegetable garden every spring for over 30 years. For certain every year he plants several varieties of tomatoes and Hungarian hot wax peppers. In years past, we’ve also grown cucumbers, zucchini, green beans, sweet peppers, lettuces, spinach, chard, and potatoes, but never snap peas. We thought we’d like to try snap peas this year.

We perused the Burpee catalog and decided that Super Snappy sounded like what we want. (low growing, with edible pods). He looked on the Burpee website this afternoon and the reviews for Super Snappy weren’t stellar.

My question is … have you ever grown snap peas and what was your experience with them? What variety did you plant? We’re looking for peas that can be grown inside a tomato cage, with edible pods for stir fries or just snacking on.

We live in NE Ohio in USDA Hardiness Zone 6.

Thank you for any input you may have!
