One of the crops that first turned me onto gardening in a big way- snap peas.To get our garden started, we worked with the Seattle Urban Farm Company. We didn't know anything about anything ... and these guys came out and bootstrapped us (they're awesome). One of the crops they planted was Snap Peas.
These grow with minimal effort, and the kids will be picking the peas off and eating them by the handful in late June/ early July.
We planted two different types last year - Sugar Star (90 days), and Super Sugar Snap (58 days)... and we discovered that we definitely prefer the Super Sugar Snaps. It wasn't just that they were faster, bigger, and bore more peas... they flat out tasted better. Maybe next year I'll experiment with another variety, but this year I just planted a whole bunch of the Super Sugar Snaps.
