I love Mammoth Melting Snow Peas at virtually all stages of their development. They are highly productive. When harvested small (<1-3") they are great in stir fry's or salads. Even the larger ones are great in stir fry dishes. If you let them mature and form peas, well, in the early stages the pods are still great but in the later stages only the shelled peas are tasty. They are very easy to grow but do need a short trellis or pea fence to keep them from getting all tangled and messy and hiding their bounty. I use 4"x4" welded wire panels wired to T-posts to hold the panels upright. Works great.
