Anyone have any experience growing these in south LA? What variety works best and will continue to produce the longest?

TIA

I've got them on a trellis in my yard right now and they are starting to fade. You have to plant them real heavy to get a good harvest, and by heavy I mean drop seeds every couple inches along a trellis so they can climb.

I don't think I still have the seed packet to tell you what variety I planted. I just bought Sugar Snap Pea seeds from Jefferson Feed in Metairie and planted them in early October. I'll head down to my shop later and if I find the seed packet, I'll add the name to this post.

ETA: Obviously "Sugar Snap" is the variety. The seed company is Ferry-Morse and it says 70 days to maturity for the first picking.

To see when they can be planted, figure out what Planting Zone you are in and look up Sugar Snaps. I live in N.O. and am in Zone 9 and the farther north you go the lower the zone number.
