My spring Sugar Snap peas... I had no problems harvesting, and they would be thicker if not for a groundhog getting into the garden and deer nibbling what they could get through the fence.

The trellis is leftover metal stakes and galvanized wire from the fence. It is durable and movable.

I am going to plant a smaller Fall crop the first week in August, and plant more beans for the rest of the trellis this weekend.

They are pretty close to dead now.

I'm going to keep them for one week and get the pods to produce peas. Then I'll cut them down.

Either rabbit or groundhog cause some damage to my seedlings at beginning. But they do not bother mature plants. I've taken out 9 grounghogs and I hope they are gone for now. But I'll still protect the baby seedlings. Not sure if birds eat them....

I'll probably plant a bit more. So I can harvest some mature peas. I like the taste of sugar snap better than the snow peas. Somehow the snow peas lose the tenderness very quickly. Not sure if that is the problem with this variety.

Sounds like you need a fence.

I do highly recommend the original AAS Sugar Snaps. They were great. Vigorous, high producing, didn't fizzle out fast in the heat. Not sure if they are the best for the Fall though.

I already have the deer fence. I may try some different kind of snow pea. I'll have to get the sees through the mail. Stores seeds are gone.
