Snow Peas and Sugar Snaps are tougher than you think. I like to plant a just a few seeds near my trellis then every week plant another half a dozen seeds to extend my growing season as long as possible. I only stop when the weather gets too warm in WA summer. I have these growing for months this way.

Hi I've planted some snowpeas & were doing really well. But have turned really pale & anemic after some heavy rain lately. They're about 10cm high. It's late spring HELP!

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.
