anyone else love them like me ????? they aint cheap either going for 5$ a lb here....I used a chair with wheels,, put a double layer of plastic making a grow bag,and tied fencing around on 3 sides making a vertical screen that can be rolled wherever...I eat a lot of them right off the vines....yeehaw...not having to bend over for early training is a bonus

"snow peas"? actually, I prefer it warm and sunny trout.

I love snow peas to, fresh of the vine in the morning. Or how about how about eating the vine? Dwarf Grey Sugar garnish peas cultivated in seed trays makes for some tasty tendrils and are an easy winter crop.

If you have some spare lights you can grow them or sugar snap peas on lattice on your basement outta a couple rubbermaid bins... I did it a couple winters inside for my wife like that, once they are bumpin I was getting a bowl every 2 days.....just keep weaving the new vines up and down....and they will just keep producing I found...

I would keep them going for 4-5 months till I could plant outside or till my wife got completely sick of eating and blanching and freezing...

Yes, I just visited them.

Growing in the garden

Everything else is under 6 inches of wet snow. But the peas are still green - so far.


Good to eat too.

their flowering ..wont be long ..snow peas so sweet and crunchy..only half make it to the table as the others get eaten off the vine...yeehaw..they are smaller than usual due to overwatering I believe and waiting too long to up the n when soil was depleted...hope they perk up some..

Gotta get a camera as I don't want any gps attached to my phone, but I put my peas in 2nd week of November and the first ones started flowering last week Sunday. They've all got flowers on them now and are about 3.5 ft high. I've got a crapload in and I use a bunch of string between poles for a lattice work.

I figured even a good frost wouldn't harm em - we ended up having a freeze but they stood up like champs. Soils very sandy here (go figure), so i dug a 3 inch deep trench, filled it with good cow manure and planted them in that and so far no problems with lack of nitrogen.

Only issue is they took a lot longer to flower than i figured they would, but coming from New York where I would plant last week of May and start harvesting in July, my guess is having a lot less daylight having only 10 hours or so was the issue, compared to the 15 hours of sun they were getting in Buffalo.

Either way, I'm about 10-14 days off until I can start harvesting, so it'll be pea city around here soon.

One of my favorite ways to cook snow peas is to steam them. Once they start to puff they’re done, you don’t want to overdo it.
