please only plant this one during early spring or fall - it likes cold weather. although it has produced a lot of peas and it grew very well during may and june, the sun burns its foliage very easily - making the foliage crisp up. i think the peas would also taste better.
it does a great job with fixing nitrogen in the soil though - it helps the plants around it a lot. till it under when no longer used or producing.
August 2008:
I believe I removed all of the sugar snap pea plants in early/mid July. they were growing WAY to big for the tomato cages that i set up (they grew around 5 ft, if not more!) so they started to bend and break in the occasional gusts of wind. they also succumed to a mildew. great harvest even until the end. i am currently growing them for the fall.
