Cascadia or Sugar Snap Peas?
Comments (11)Okay, here's a reason for starting at the bottom of the threads and working my way up, instead of the other way around, LOL. I hadn't seen this earlier post on peas, but it's very interesting. Just to mention, I don't have luck with Burpee either. I'm now getting all my seeds from Johnny's because they out-perform the others so significantly. In any event, I appreciate the info on peas. I planted "Caselode" and am thinking maybe I'll try some different varieties and see what works best in my area. My problem with yield may also be that I let the peas get too big before picking? Or maybe my expectations are just off. I planted two 8' rows of them in the early spring. Seeds were planted about 2" apart and the rows were about 3" apart on either side of a trellis. Out of all that, I really only got one meal for a family of 4. Granted, I pulled the plants after I picked the first batch because they were already yellowing and I didn't see loads of new peas sprouting. Maybe I didn't give them a chance to give me more? How many shell peas does one really need to plant to get lots and lots of peas? My family loves them and would eat them every night, but instead, I'm giving them pole beans and zucchini.

Comments (2)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....See MoreWhere to buy Super Sugar Mel snap pea seeds?
Comments (3)At one time you could get this from Shepherd's Seeds but the business has since closed. Here is a link to Renee's Garden Seeds and their equivalency to Shepherd's Seeds. http://www.reneesgarden.com/seeds/packpg/veg/pea-sugarsnap-p.htm Park Seed Equivalency: http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/5231/ Burpee Equivalency: http://www.burpee.com/product/vegetables/peas/snap+or+edible+podded+peas/snap+pea+super+sugar+snap+v.p.+-+1+pkt.+(200+seeds).do That is all I was able to dig up.
