Easy peasy, pardon the pun. Support when young and keep rows at least 450 mm apart so you can find the peas before they mature. Good luck.

Hi Ziggy Yes, they're very easy to grow although you need to make sure they have enough ventilation as they can easily get white powdery mildew (I think that's what it's called). They come up pretty quickly too which I always find exciting. I soak my seeds in warm water overnight before I plant them. Happy growing!

I have just removed tomato plants and am wondering if I can put snow peas in the same plot. Is there a hint as to how to prepare the soil? I know with Sweet Peas the soil needs some Lime. Is it the same with edible peas?

How do I store the seeds for next winter ? They are currently still in the pods, looking half green to pale green. Some with mould on them.

I planted peas before the winter its now end of August and there are no pod on them,the plant looks ok with lots of foliage , some are wilting and dying the base are brown i've scattered some fresh soil on the base to see if that would help the fruiting, we had a lot of rain. Pls what am i doing wrong.

I am doing my first box of snow peas, there were going ok till a few days back when I noticed they look like they are dying from the roots up slowly. what is happening? I am not over watering or underwatering. what do I do to get them to stay alive?

Have a look at your potting mix. Most commercial mixes hold so much water your plants are rotting. Take a hand full out and squeeze it and you will see. I am having the same problem with seed raising mixture. Will be making my own from now on

Try putting peas under damp bag and let them sprout before planting. Will increase germination.
