Snap Peas

From seed, Johnny's Sugar Snap Peas (used less than 1 pack for a trellis the width of the bed)
Direct sow: 5/4/12
Planted at the base of a trellis, with twine running horizontally and spaced every 3-4 inches.  Seeds planted on either side of the twine (double row). Closely planted, q 1/2 to 1 inch, no thinning needed.  Good germination (though the squirrels like to dig them up).  Early crop - does better in cool weather, lower yield in warm weather. 

Tips for next year:
Plant earlier
Fall crop?
