Sugarsnap pea variety
« on: January 15, 2010, 09:34 »
Can anyone recommend a nice sweet variety of sugarsnap pea?

I don't normally buy stuff like that at this time of year but did yesterday and my 6 year old had to have the packet taken away because he had eaten half of them  :blink: I have promised him we will grow some this summer and wodnered which variety is best

I grew Suttons Sugarsnap Delikett last year.
You can eat them as mangetout or sugarsnaps and they were lovely. When they got really fat (coss they'd been hiding :) )you could still eat the pods as well you just needed to pull the strings out.
I am growing them again this year :D

Thanks to both of you, I am going to get him to look at the catalogues with me as well and see which he thinks sounds best
