The sugar snap peas from Renee's Garden grew to almost 7' tall (about 16 plants) in our 40"x14" plot. They were planted April 5th. From 11 to 14 weeks they produced delicious sweet peas - about 2.5 lbs worth.
We've had a wet season, but they required very little special care, other than the teepee wound with string to support them. I pulled them down on July 5th because they had grown so tall they toppled over in the wind, but I think they would have easily kept growing and producing peas! See snap peas grow.
I chopped the plants and composted them, but chopped up the roots and left them in the soil. The roots of peas fix nitrogen and pull it into the soil.
I have seeded the area with more swiss chard.
