Sweet Gem Sugar Snap Pea Seeds (Organic)
Sugary Snap Sensation
The Sweet Gem Sugar Snap Pea, a distinguished cultivar of Pisum sativum, presents a valuable choice for gardeners and culinary enthusiasts. Developed through specialized breeding, this variety is celebrated for its sweet, succulent pods and robust growth habit. The plant typically attains a height of up to 5 feet, necessitating support structures like trellises for optimal vertical growth. Its foliage is characterized by a vibrant green color, with white flowers that eventually develop into the edible pods.
These pods are notably sweet and crisp, making the Sweet Gem variety a preferred choice for fresh consumption and a variety of culinary preparations. Planting is ideal in early spring or late summer, catering to the plant's preference for cooler growing conditions. The Sweet Gem thrives in well-drained soil, maintaining a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5, and requires access to full or partial sunlight.
Harvesting these peas at the correct time is essential to maximize their flavor and nutritional content. The pods should be picked when they are swollen, indicating the peas inside are still young and tender. Frequent harvesting not only ensures a continuous supply of fresh peas but also encourages further pod production. The Sweet Gem Sugar Snap Pea's combination of delightful taste, visual appeal, and ease of cultivation makes it an optimal choice for those seeking to enrich their garden with a productive and tasty vegetable.

from 9203 reviewsI grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
