Appreciate the response.
This will be my 1st attempt with sugar snaps, bought a few different varieties. (Short bushes/tall vines and large/small pods)
Started them all under a UV lap in my garage yesterday and will transplant after last freeze.
Hoping they turn out ok

I've never grown a bush variety of those, but have grown bush snap beans and they are heavy producers, but kind of hard on the back for picking.
That is why I grow many of the beans I grow on trellises, plus it keeps the beans much cleaner. Even bush beans get mud splatter on them in heavy rains from time to time but trellises beans come clean off the vine.
If you like green beans, give Asparagus Beans aka Japanese Yard Longs a try. They are very fast growing, heavy produces of beans that I pick in the 20-24 inch range and are great cooked down like regular snap beans or grilled like you would asparagus. The only thing I find they don't do well in is if pickled as they tend to get a bit leathery texture to them. Also a climber by the way.

Not from LA but routinely grow them up here in north central AL.
If you've never grown them before enjoy a few right from the vine as your picking. I've never had to use any pesticides on them so a quick splash of water and yum yum.
