|---|---|
| Seed Depth | 1" |
| Seed Spacing | 2" |
| Thinning | Not required. |
| Germination | 5–10 days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 40°F, ideally 60°–80°F and again 10 to 12 weeks before your average first frost date. In Mild Climates, sow in fall or winter for winter harvest. Best grown in temperatures less than 85°F. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Snow peas should be picked before the seeds start to form. Peas that are too mature are tough and will cause the plant to stop producing; therefore, harvest regularly when pods are at their peak. Use scissors to harvest or hold vine with one hand and pick the pods with the other; vines are fragile |

Great germination, and very prolific. No pests seemed interested in it either. One of the most low maintenance veggies I grew last fall. So good that I wish I grew more! Just planted the rest of my packet for spring, and looking forward to more tasty peas. I'll be growing these again and again.

The peas were quick to sprout and grew so well. I was able to harvest a handful of delicious pods before the cold wave swept through. Even though I covered the raised bed with 3 blankets, the cold took out half of my crop and the remaining half is struggling.
I will continue to grow these and hope for less cool weather next winter in FL!!
