Growing Cascadia Sugar Snap Pea

• Garden peas are climbing plants and for best productivity and ease of harvest they should be grown on a short trellis.
• Best grown in full sun but can also cope with very light shade.
• Sow pea seeds 2.5cm deep  and space seeds 6cm apart to form a vigorous wall of pea plants.
• Plant directly where they are to grow as peas can suffer from transplant shock.
• Water once and don’t water again until the seedlings emerge to reduce the chance of the pea seeds rotting in the soil.
• Germination takes 9 – 14 days.
• Harvest 12 – 14 weeks after sowing.
