From FEDCO:

68 days to maturity. Open-pollinated. Always a top seller, this breakthrough variety was ten years in the making after breeder Calvin Lamborn made his first cross in 1969. Upon its release, Sugarsnap was awarded the coveted AAS Gold Medal and later voted the #1 all-time AAS. The late Lamborn, known as the father of the snap pea, was at age 80 still breeding experimental snow and snap pea varieties of remarkable colors (see www.eatmorepeas.com) and marketing them to top chefs. His original is one of the very best raw treats in the garden, far tastier than the dwarf varieties, although more work to grow. Tall Sugarsnap vines climb 5–7' and need strong stakes. Pods reach superb sweetness only when completely filled. 

Plant 3/4" deep, 2" apart, in rows 3' apart, on a fence, as soon as the ground can be worked.

Culture: Peas are legumes with moderate fertility requirements. Avoid excess nitrogen: they can fix their own. Use Legume Inoculant as an aid. They prefer cool, moist weather and dislike dry heat. Sow as early as ground can be worked for best yields. All peas produce more when staked; varieties over 2½' must be supported. Use either Trellis Plus or chicken wire. Install support at planting time to avoid disturbing seedlings. Plant 8–10 seeds/ft on each side of supports in double rows. Set supports for rows 3' apart (5' if very tall varieties).

Harvest snow peas before pods fill out. Don’t pick snap peas too soon: snaps taste sweetest when completely filled. Young snow and snap plants can be eaten as greens, good in mesclun or lightly cooked. To serve pea shoots, remove the coarse tendrils and break the stalk into 3" pieces each with some leaves.
