Pea : Sugar Snap : Cascadia
Vegetable
Crops in : Harvest June to August
Ideal for : Children
Description
Crisp, sweet, rounded 'sugar snap' pods that remain succulent and tender over a longer period than many other varieties. Enjoy bumper crops of Sugarsnap Pea Cascadia over a long picking season on the easy to manage, quite dwarf plants. Sugarsnap Pea Cascadia is resistant to Pea Wilt. Prefers well drained, moist, rich conditions.

Sowing Instructions
Sow seeds March to June, every 10 days. Sow seeds in flat-bottomed drills 5cm (2 inches) apart, 5cm (2 inches) deep and in rows, 75cm (30 inches) apart.

Growing Instructions
The peas will be ready to harvest around 12 to 13 weeks from sowing, and regular picking will encourage further cropping.

Aftercare
Keep well watered during dry weather.Pick regularly for heaviest yields.
I hope this is the type you need instructions for.

I grew Sugar "Ann" last year and will do again because they were great!
From the packet: Sow Feb - June outdoors. (If planting early make sure ground is warmed up using plastic/cloches for a week or so.) Make a flat bottomed drill 15cm wide and water it well. Sow about 10 seeds per 30cmm (12") spacing them evenly in a zig-zag manner. Cover with 2cmm (1") soil and firm down. As seedlings emerge protect from birds using short twigs placed over the row. Very early spring sowings will benefit from cloche protection.
As peas start to grow support with canes and netting as for runner beans. Plants will reach a height of 150cm (60")
Keep well watered
Harvest May-August.
Yours may be taller/shorter but the method is the same. I just used twigs to start then bamboos for support.
Good luck!
