Just a question...I have planted some Sugar Snap Peas and while I thought they'd grow 'tall' they're only about 10" but they are giving me a few peas,delicious they are, but not many. Have about 12 plants, wondering if I did something wrong, they're so little.

In response to my garden.... posted by bebob51:
There are vining sugar snaps and bush type sugar snaps so it sounds like you didn't plant a vining variety. At least they are producing and the peas taste ok, right? LOL

Sugar Snap just means a general category of nice peas with a lower fiber pod that can be eaten when the peas are still immature... no shelling required. YUM plus, we LOVE less work!

Another possibility is they were planted or are growing in weather that is too hot. High temperatures can stunt the plants and limit yield, too. Keep in mind peas are cool weather plants ....
