Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon 'Sugar Ann'

Peas are an easy crop to grow, very productive, and if planted in succession give pickings from mid to late summer. There are two main types of pea, dwarf and climbing, the later needing supports. In addition round seeded peas tend to be the hardy varieties and are the early peas; wrinkled seeded being the later type, being second early and main crop. Mange tout are an edible pod variety always best picked young before the seed swells. 'Sugar Ann' , an RHS AGM variety, is a round, fleshy, heavy-cropping sugar-snap pea that can be eaten immature when it is still stringless, or left to mature when it is sweeter, but will need to have the strings removed
