In 2014 we trellised our first trial of Amish Snap PEas. They started a bit slow due to being on the South Shore of Lake Ontario, but then they really started cranking out the pods during a 4 to 5 week deluge... The peas are absolutely delicious, sooo sweet and tender. I believe this variety will become a mainstay in our Snap Pea collection. A phenominal bountiful yield. |

This is the second year we grew these, and we doubled our planting from last year. Verdict? Next year we double it again. These are SOOOOO good. They are, without doubt, the best snap peas we\'ve ever had. They freeze well too. Everyone clamours for them. Unfortunately, a favourite of the deer, and they will need a trellis. However, they don\'t get hugely unwieldy. They are said to produce for 6 weeks but mine have never lasted quite that long, perhaps because our springs switch so quickly from cool to full-blast hot. More like 4 weeks. On the other hand, these retain their sweet flavour during heat better than any other snap pea, snow pea or pea that we have grown. We grew them in the fall as well as the spring and got good results. Really, can\'t recommend these too much. |

We grew both Amish snap and sugar snap this year and the Amish snap were the clear winners in taste, texture, and productivity. They were sweet (my dog even likes them!), and taste great even when the peas become quite large in the pods. The vines just shot up and began producing buckets full while the sugar snap were growing very slowly and still haven't caught up production wise. |

An excellent sugar snap pea!! Vines grow to about six feet tall and produce loads of pods in a small space. Flavor and texture are excellent. Nice and sweet. These were no later maturing for me than the bush types but produced longer. |
