Golden Sweet Snow Peas
These are a nice alternative to green snow peas. They have a nice yellow/green color, and look particularly nice when served mixed with green snow peas.
The plants are good producers, and grow to about 2 meters. I got good results by planting a double row, with a trellis in the middle and about 3cm spacing for the seeds.

The color on those are very nice. How do they taste? Would you say that they are on par with the green kinds, better or not as good?
Hi Hanna,
The flavor is a little milder. I would say they are on par with green ones, and not substantially different.
Ok. Thanks. I will have to look into growing them next year. They look like they would be fun to put in a stir-fry.
I grew these last year. They taste as good as the regular green varieties, and they are MUCH easier to harvest (easier to see the pods!)
They also stay sweet even when you let them get pretty enormous, though they are more tender when picked when they are still flat.
Hi Nirah, thanks for the comment and for stopping by!
