Plant Sugar Snap Peas in full sun, in soil amended with plenty of compost. If your soil is acidic, add ground dolomitic limestone or some wood ashes to raise the pH. Snow peas require a fertilizer high in phosphate and potash.
Plant each cluster of 2-3 seedlings 4-6 inches apart. Sugar Snap peas will grow and produce best when grown on a sturdy, vertical trellis. Keep peas well watered and remove weeds. The plants will benefit from mulching around the roots in order to help keep them cool. Plants grow 24-36 inches tall, with 3-4 inch pods.

Harvest when the peas are fully formed inside their pods. The entire pod of sugar snap peas are fully edible. Regular harvesting will keep plants producing for a long time. Peas produce best in cooler spring weather.
