Sugar Snap Peas - inoculant?
Comments (4)1. The question if the "Inoculant" would be does it really help that much? Have universities done controlled studies, or is this a more fuzzy area? Do the inoculants they sell to consumers actually do much? I don't know. Each garden is different also. 2. As for amount of sun, it better be a good solid 5 hours of sun around noon... but on the other hand some afternoon shade might help heading towards summer. You can always try, it's your garden. 3. Just stick them in the ground. 4. I don't think you soil warming will effect the neighboring area much, but a bit warmer soil in March might actually help....See MorePlease Please Help With My Dying Sugar Snap Peas
Comments (11)Once we start having days above 80 degrees- and especially having our Santa Ana winds, my peas start turning yellow from the bottom first. The "younger" your pea plants are, the more this warm dry air will affect them. (Older plants can take a little heat.) Two years ago, my fall peas were so good that I decided to plant a "spring" crop in February. But they struggled, turned yellow, then brown - I got some flowers but never any peas. I had to pull them up in April. (They don't last from year to year.) So this year, I just planted twice as many in October. If you are looking for some greenery on your patio, how about a tomato plant or some rosemary. They are both hardy. And if your balcony is protected, the rosemary is perennial. (Sometimes we can even get a tomato to last the winter to here!) hope this helps....See Morehave: have: commecial sugar snap peas & chinese pea pod

Comments (16)i tried Sugar Sprint this year which is smaller and not as delicious as Super Sugar Snap but is only about 2 or 3 feet tall and stringless. i like to let SSS get really fat before harvest, is it just me or do they seem to get sweeter that way? The pods must be strung at any age but it is so much easier to string a fresh pea. queenofthemountain, did you get to taste any of the Sugar Snaps to compare to Super Sugar Snap? i have heard others say the taste is better? But also what your experience confirms, no resistance to PM. i was suprised to discover that snap peas come in yellow and purple. i know Sylvia grew some Golden Sweet snow peas recently and i just received some Opal Creek and Sugar Magnolia seeds. Anyone else trying any of the colored podded peas?...See Morebragu_DSM 5
