PEA-SUGARSNAP-SUGAR BON (SALE) Considered the sweetest of all sugar snap peas, produces succulent round stringless pods to 7.5cm long. You may plant peas in the spring after your soil has warmed up & again in late summer. An extremely early maturing bush. They produce a heavy crop of delicious crunchy pods that are really sweet. Eat them pod & all. Strong vines require little or no support reaching 50cm in height. Keep picking your peas to enjoy a longer harvest.
Peas do need good drainage. They grow best in full sun, but in an area where plants receive some shade from the midday sun as the season progresses.

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
