Mr Fothergill’s Sugar Bon Pea (Snap) Seeds

Mr. Fothergill’s Sugar Bon Pea Seeds are an early variety with high yields of delicious, almost stringless pods.

Pods can be left to develop and peas can be shelled with pods able to remain edible until quite large.

These peas are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K and vitamin A.

Protect seedlings from birds with twigs or bird scarers. Water well during dry spells.
