Jan 13, 2007: Status Update   got 2 oz from parks The Famous Stringless, Leafless Sugar Snap Just Got Better! Now Sugar Lace is resistant to PEMV! 68 days from direct-sowing. When Sugar Lace arrived on the scene a few years ago, a bright new day dawned for sugar snap peas! This variety was not only stringless, it was nearly LEAFLESS -- all its energy went into making peas, for yields like you wouldn't believe! Well, now the best is even better: Sugar Lace II has the same highly productive habit, PLUS improved disease resistance! Sugar Lace II sets masses and masses of dark green, plump 3 1/2-inch pods on compact 30-inch plants that never need staking. No strings and very few leaves mean easier harvest as well as lots more peas! And such scrumptious peas they are, succulent and sweet. This variety sets well in either spring or fall, and has added Pea Enation Mosaic Virus (PEMV) to its arsenal of disease resistance, which also includes Powdery Mildew and Bean Leaf Roll Virus. A great Pea for north or south, Sugar Lace II is a must for anyone who appreciates super-sweet flavor and plenty of it! Easy to grow, peas love cold weather, so plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Direct-sow 1 to 2 inches apart and 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep. Peas are also ideal as a fall crop started in late summer. To conserve space and simplify harvesting, sow in double rows with a trellis between rows. Pkt is 210 seeds, which sows 10 to 12 feet of row.
