And don't throw the snow pea leaves away- delicious sauteed with garlic!

Hi all, Does anyone have any experience growing in SEQLD in spring? Will it definitely be too hot or is it worth a try? I was thinking of putting them in the shade of my corn so they wouldn't get much direct sun. Thanks :-)

let a few snow peas go until the pods are ready to open as this is naturally how they reproduce. replanting peas from a successful plant gives 10 times better seedlings than mass produced seedling factory types. The new plants are produced from a plant in that soil and climate not a greenhouse in another state. Try not to use any pesticides and hang a couple of mothballs to keep possums away. liquid fertiliser once a week is a certain winner.

Planted snow peas in May growing great. Vines are favourites of my chooks. Lots of white flowers little pods. When do pods start appearing? Also looking at getting some seeds for next year. How do I do that?

I grow them yearly, just keep some of the peas and dry them out and plant again next year, it works for me

Do snow peas require potash?

Hi We live in Perth and have just planted snow peas for the first time. The plants are still quite small (under 30cm) and the first one has a flower. We were wondering whether we should pinch it out and allow the plant to put its energy into growing more before it puts it into the peas? Looking forward to your reply. Thanks. Kris

If you get frosts, you could pinch it out and wait til spring for your snow peas. Otherwise just leave it and start eating in a few weeks!

I put in snow pea seeds a couple of weeks ago and the seedlings duly emerged but something is eating them right back to the root. What could this be and what can be done?
