    In the past I have had trouble getting these seeds to germinate, even though I had fresh seeds. This year I started them in some guttering and then "slid" them into the ground. Some of the peas were 4" long and very sweet. We love snow peas, and this one, because the pods are still tender when large, makes picking enough for a meal very easy.
