Comments (2)I grew Super Sugar Snap last year and spaced them about 4 inches apart. I'm not quite picturing your pyramid trellis... My trellis was a series of 5 foot wooden stakes with nails in it, and I tied a grid of jute twine to the nails. Whatever kind of trellis you use, put it in the ground first and then plant your peas, so that you don't disturb the plants or their roots after they start growing....See MoreSeparating sugar snap peas that have vined together
Comments (4)No, no, that's what you want them to do. They are helping to support each other right now, which is a good thing. Some shorter varieties don't even require staking and will just kind of support each other in a clump, just like you have. If your string isn't enough, you can also push some stakes or tree branches around/among them to give them more to climb. The more they have to hang on to (including their neighbors), the more likely they'll be to withstand high winds as they grow. Good luck!...See Morebarrie2m_(6a, central PA)
