Peas, Sugar Snap

Classic sweet, crisp green snap pea, needs trellis

• Peas are cool weather crops so they should be grown in spring & fall.
• Sugar Snaps are vining and need a trellis or other support.
• Peas are normally sown outdoors once the soil temp is at least 40° (around March 27th).
• Plant along a trellis. Sow seeds in a band 3” wide (3 rows that are 1½ inches apart), with seeds planted 1½” apart and 1” deep.
• This creates a denser planting than a single row planting and will produce more peas per square foot.
• Pea seeds germinate very slowly or may rot in overly cold & wet soils.
• Days to germination: 6-21.
• Plants will finish early (June) so you can sow pole beans below the peas 5/20 or fill space w/ basil or beets.
• For fall harvest, sow peas July 15th – Aug. 1st.
• Peas grow best if seeds are inoculated with a pea inoculant at planting.
