had left them standing a bit precariously.
After this, it wasn’t long before we got flowers starting to form. And then within a week, there were lots of pea pods starting to show!
We ended up with quite a good harvest of sugar snap peas that lasted quite a few weeks. We tried them
various ways – but our favourite was in a stir fry, along with some of the other vegetables we’d grown!
The harvest was so good in fact, that we tried a second sowing. These were sown at the end of July, and hopefully at the time of reading this, they will be ready to harvest. We’ll let you know if the second sowing made it in the next SV magazine!
