Growing snap peas
What is your favorite way to grow/trellis snap peas? I will be growing in pots. Pics would be appreciated.
I am trying Mammoth Melting Sugar this year. I planted the seeds less than a week ago and we had snow yesterday so hopefully they make it. This year I am planting the peas in the green bean trellis. Then I will plant pole beans right next to peas in about 45 days. Hopefully the peas will wind down as the beans take over.

There are different varieties. Some grow over 7 ft tall and definitely need string trellis on at least 6 ft after pounded in the ground bamboo pole frame. Others are shorter... Some are much shorter. Which do you have?
Be sure not to make the trellis taller than you can reach. Made that mistake twice now.
