sugar snap peas
Comments (4)I'm growing them right now here in Baton Rouge. Start them in Feb or so. Use the treated seeds that germinate better. They start producing a little over a month after planting and will continue until it gets really warm (you know, in May :-)) You can pick the pea pods early if you want to eat them pods and all, or wait til the peas get plump and eat 'em that way! I am growing carrots too, and last weekend we had homegrown peas and carrots...yummy!...See MoreHow long does it take sugar snap peas to sprout direct sowing?
Comments (7)I did a late planting of both "Sugar Lace" snap peas and "Green Arrow" shelling peas, for a Fall crop. They were planted on July 17th, and the first shoots are breaking ground today, 7 days later. Full emergence should be in another 3-4 days. In my experience, sugar snaps need warmer soil than most other peas, to get good germination. I had several years of very poor stands when Spring planted, but have much better germination when planted in mid-Summer. I hope the pair of sandhill cranes that dug up my entire late corn planting doesn't return for the peas. They were just walking out of my rural garden when I drove up... one hour too late. :-0 The DW & I put up a fence today, which will keep out the deer & rabbits... but I'm not sure how much good it will do against pests which can fly!!!...See MoreSugar Snap Peas won't flower
Comments (9)Sugar Snaps (assuming you are talking about the actual variety and not using the term generically) are tall plants and get to be around 6 feet. They start to flower and produce after they've grown a bit so it's likely, as floral has suggested, that you trimming them is why you aren't seeing flowers. Next time you might want to try a dwarf or bush variety of snap pea which only grow 2-3 feet tall, such as Sugar Ann, Sugar Daddy, Cascadia, and others. Edited to add: I'm on my phone and just see a jumbled mess of plants with eerie yellow lighting in the pic. Couldn't say anything about their health.

Comments (9)Thank you! The difference is the Spinosad, right? Do you have an opinion on whether I need to do anything more in this situation? So far I've done sluggo and diatomaceous earth, and I don't see obvious new damage. I didn't have much hope for this second planting. It should be hella hot by now!...See More- 9 years ago
