Sugar peas are typically planted in rows and harvested in a certain period. This is called the sugar harvest. They are planted in rows to make it easier for the workers to pick them. The number of rows, plants, and plantings differs depending on the crop and size of farm, but typical spacing is 12 inches between plants
The average amount of peas that can be harvested from one plant is around 100 pounds of sugar peas per acre.
Many types of sugar peas are traditionally grown from seeds, but some gardeners have started using plants that come from cuttings or clippings. The plant will produce sugars within about three weeks of being planted in soil.
One plant can produce as many as four hundred sugar peas, which is enough to feed a family of four each day for two weeks!
