I planted Snowbird peas in the garden and in a container. I wasn\'t impressed with the garden version at all. However, the container version was pretty good. I planted about 9 peas in a circle with a small tomato cage. (22"planter) I would recommend it in a container. I\'ll plant the rest of my Snowbird seeds in containers only.

This is a really nice snow pea compact enough for containers and great enough to be grown in small spaces. I planted seeds in January and had a decent crop by early spring. Pods are 2-3 inches long and it's best to pick before pods swell or they tend to be a little tough, typical of most snowpeas. Likes cool weather and does not fare well when temps get over 75-80 degrees on average in Zone 9. Best planted in fall or the first part of the year. I will plan on growing again.
