| 62 days. Sugar Sprint starts producing extra-early and just keeps on coming, bearing a lengthy, heavy harvest! Lasting longer on the vine than most, its stringless, 3-inch ultra-sweet pods arise two per node -- it's like getting an extra pod with every fruit! The 26-inch plants demonstrate great heat tolerance, making them a fine choice for spring and fall crops. They are resistant to Powdery Mildew and tolerant of Pea Enation Mosaic Virus. Easy to grow, peas love cold weather, so plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Direct-sow 1 to 2 inches apart and 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep. Peas are also ideal as a fall crop started in late summer. To conserve space and simplify harvesting, sow in double rows with a trellis between rows. Pkt is 2 ounces (about 215 seeds), which sows 10 to 12 feet of row. |
