Things that you need to grow sugar snap peas:

• plastic plate
• paper towels
• scissor
• sugar snap peas seeds
• plastic wrap

Steps to grow sugar snap peas:

1. First, get a plastic plate or something familiar and then put some wet towel papers on it. If there is any excess of wet paper that extends beyond the plate, use a scissor to trim them.
2. Then, scatter the seeds evenly on the wet paper towel. Using a plastic wrap, cover the plate to hold in moisture. To produce some air circulation inside the plate, punch some holes on the plastic wrap. If you want to skip this punching-hole step, it’s fine. You have to keep the paper towel moist and place in a not too hot spot. Using this procedure will get you about 85% of germination rate.
3. The seeds will start sprouting after several days, and you can start to plant on them an inch or two deep on the soil. You should check regularly and plant in the morning and evening as the sprouting goes on so quickly.
4. The seeds sprouts can be planted very closely together. You can plant them in the order of 2 inches within a row, and rows can be around 8 inches apart. There are types of sugar snap peas which do not require staking such as the Sugar Ann. However, you may want to run a string down each row to help them in place. If you using other types of sugar snap peas, you can build trellis such as the tomato trellis. Do weekly hoeing and picking out the weeds on your sugar snap peas rows.
5. You can start to harvest your sugar snap peas when they are relatively full. The best way to cook the sugar snaps peas are cooked right away. Avoid keeping the pods in the refrigerator; the pods will lose their crispiness.
