Question about Pea Snap Cascadia.

16 years ago

First year growing from seed. My plants are about 10-12 inches tall and look healthy. I sowed the seeds in early Jan. and did not see sprouts until the begining of Feb. My question is how long until I see flowers. The plants have been in my raised bed for over two months now!

Very soon. It should take about 60 days from germination. When you see flowers then start checking them everyday because they will mature fast.

I'm curious what your Cascadia peas look like now. I planted some from seed, but I didn't do it as early as you did. Right now, mine look like yours did in the picture.

As far as your onions are concerned there's no "special" fertilizer required. They do really well with fish/seaweed emulsion applied weekly. They bulb in hot weather and grow the greens in cool. Just keep 'em watered and don't worry about uncovering them - they'll do fine. Best of luck.

best sugar snap pea varieties?
Q
Comments (16)
I grew both Sugar Snap and Super Suger Snap this year with the idea of comparing them. Not a huge difference but the SSS's flowered and bore pods about 5 days in advance of the SN's. The heights were identical up until about 5 feet when the SN's outpaced the SSN's growth. Only about a foot difference at the end of the season, but they are both taller than my 6.5' trellis so the SSN is better for me. The SSN pods seemed to plump up faster and do taste a little better. I am switching from SN to SSN going forward.

Snap Pea Yield Question
Q

Snap peas is just another name for what we call snow peas. The yield is very much influenced by the temperature, as a matter of fact, they are a cool-weather plant and up here in Canada, the plants practically go dormant in the hot summer weather, and come to life again in late summer/fall and produce more peas. I put them in the ground as soon as it can be worked. They can withstand quite cold temps. and give you good production in a sunny location during the cool months. You may not need to re-sow.

Snap Peas........Cascadia.........
Q

I haven't ever grown Cascadia; usually grow Sugar Snap on a trellis. I tend to plant about now, and plan on replanting if they don't sprout. Most years they are fine with the early planting. My seed pack for this year is still unopened, but I will probably plant in the next week or so unless the cold returns.

I've been sorting through my leftover seeds from last year before succumbing to the temptation to order more -- new! bigger!! better!!! more flavorful!!!! varieties... (Well, that's what all the catalogs promise! LOL)
Anyway, on my 2009 packet of Cascadia from Pinetree Seeds, the packet says 48 days to maturity. But Googling that variety turns up estimates of 60 to 90 days!! Now, I realize soil & weather conditions determine when a vegggie will be ready to pick, but that range of maturity dates seems pretty extreme! I planted several pea varieties last year but, alas, failed to note which I planted where so have no data from my own garden to compare this to.
I'll plant them again and PROMISE myself to keep better records!

Weedlady, Cascadia is a favorite of mine that I grow every year. Planted about March 1 here in the PNW, 90 days would be about right. I can't imagine them doing much in 48 days unless planted in the summer and they do not like that.

I grew Cascadia twice last year - late winter/early spring and then again in late summer/fall. I'm in Middle GA - it's hot here. The first round were planted about a month before last frost and they came up in about two weeks - much better than others. They produced pretty well considering how quickly it got hot. I mulched heavily which helped. I don't think 48 days is realistic tho... more like 68 for me.

I started planting small numbers again in late August hoping for a fall/winter crop. They would sprout, but wither from the heat. Finally ones planted in early October took. I got a small crop, but finally they were pretty much wiped out by hard freezes in late Dec.

I will plant them again this spring - am tracking soil temps this year. :)
