Support:

Growing Tips

  • Watering: Water regularly to keep soil moist, especially during flowering. Avoid over-watering as it can affect pollination.
  • Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer, but avoid high nitrogen, which promotes foliage over flowers and pods.
  • Weed Control: Mulching helps retain moisture and reduce weed growth around seedlings.

Harvesting

  • Timing: Harvest around 60 days after planting when pods are filled out but still tender. Test ripeness by snapping a pod; if it breaks cleanly, it’s ready.
  • Method: Use scissors or pruners to snip pods rather than pulling to avoid damaging the vines. Harvesting frequently encourages continued production.

Culinary Tips

Taichung 13 Sugar Peas have a superbly sweet flavor and a crunchy texture. They’re great raw with dips, in salads, or lightly stir-fried.
