  It doesn't always work that way, Michelle. :-(  Sugar peas take longer
  than regular (early) bush peas to flower and give pods. However, I
  am planting some climbing snow peas in spite of that - they are more
  prolific, take up less room vertically on a fence (no kneeling or
  bending to pick most of them) - and you don't have to throw away that
  crunchy juicy pod! :-)
  With my right hand still icky, I can't count on having the dexterity
  to shell peas now; but I had already made this decision after I
  harvested some snow peas last season. MMMMM mmmm!
