How to grow snap peas?

can u plz explain what exactly are snap peas.. have heard of peas but never heard of snap peas.. really interested to know as to what it is..

I don't think you can grow snap peas inside because they have to be pollinated by an insect like bees or butterflies. I think they could be grown in a container but need to be out side. Try something like spinach, swiss chard or even tomatoes. These vegetables don't need pollinated.

You can grow peas in an apartment? These are cold weather crop that you usually plans early in the spring outside in the garden. Are you planning on growing them under lights as there will probably not be enough light coming through your window to grow them successfully and your apartment might be too hot and dry for them as well. Here is a quote from http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art15693.asp "PEAS: These like to climb. Place a trellis in the pot with them and let them grow. Or simply let them fall over each other in a tangled mixture. (Dwarf varieties do not need staking.) When the flowers come on these do not need to be pollinated by you. They will take care of themselves. They prefer to stay away from heat vents. If you only want to nibble on a few fresh peas, plant only a 6-12 plants (one pot). If you want to cook up peas for dinner, you will need about 25-50 plants in three to four different pots. You can replant about once a month for a continuous crop all winter. Harvest in 8 weeks."
