Sugar snap peas are tasty, easy to grow and perfect for planting with kids. Because they're quick growing they fit well with the attention spans of children and they can be eaten straight from the garden.

You don't need heaps of space to grow these sweet tasting peas but I recommend having something for them to grow up like a trellis or netting.

Grab your Awapuni Nurseries sugar snap seedlings from our online store or throw a couple of bundles in your trolley next time you're at your local supermarket, Bunnings or The Warehouse.

Once you've got the perfect spot to plant, dig in a little fertiliser or compost to give the seedlings a good kick-start. Then make a little hole and pop a seedling in. I recommend planting each seedling around 20cm apart from the next.

Your peas will grow in a pod like beans and will be ready to harvest in around eight to 10 weeks. Not sure if they're ready? Just taste-test them!
