These were my favorite the first year I sowed them, which was my first year sowing peas. The next year I had more to compare them to and noticed they grew tall but didn't produce as much as I expected such a tall plant to produce, compared with Oregon Sugarpod II. The pods got very long before starting to swell, and were tasty, but there just weren't many for some reason.

Mammoth Melting Sugar peas grow tall vines, so they really need tall supports unless you want them to sprawl. I wanted to keep them off the ground so I could harvest the peas. Be sure to pick the snow pea pods when young and tender and flat for best taste.
