Do not tip snow peas as you do tomatoes. If you can get a plastic greenhouse you will grow a forest. They are cheap and readily available, humidity is the secret. Keeps the possums and birds away also. I use timber stakes with twine for support and plant new seeds as the larger plants are beginning to produce to keep a rolling harvest for 6 months. The older plants are perfect support for the new plants. Always use a liquid/seaweed fertilizer once a week. Mine are 2 metres tall and produce from June until December when the heat beats them.
