re: Sugar Snap Peas

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.
