Once the snow has disappeared, and you can work the soil, snow peas are a seed you can start right into the ground.
As soon as they are ready to harvest, I love making this quick stir fry. Of course, sometimes I have trouble picking enough of them – my children snack on them raw right off the vine! If I’m lucky to get any, this is one of the things I make.
