BUSH PEA - vines to 30" Fedco HD https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bu... Sow: Jan-Feb; Sept-Oct Germination: 7-14 days Maturity: 58-65 days Culture: Sow as early as ground can be worked for best yields. Minimum soil temperature for pea seed germination: 40°. Optimal range 50–75°. Peas are legumes with moderate fertility requirements. Avoid excess nitrogen: they can fix their own. Use Legume Inoculant at planting. They prefer cool, moist weather and dislike dry heat. All peas produce more when staked; varieties over 2½' must be supported. Use either Trellis Netting or chicken wire. Install support at planting time to avoid disturbing seedlings. Plant 8–10 seeds/ft on each side of supports in double rows. Set supports for rows 3' apart (5' if very tall varieties). Young plants are very hardy but frost stops production at the blossom or pod stage. If you love peas as much as we do, try for a second crop in the fall. Timing is crucial, as peas ripen slowly in the cool of September, and frost will halt production. We recommend planting the first two weeks of July for a fall crop in central Maine. Warmer areas try later July. If the summer is hot, cool the soil with a hay mulch in advance of planting, or shade peas with tall crops to hold in soil moisture. Peas are 25% sucrose by weight and lose nearly half their sugars within 6 hours at room temperature. That's why they taste best grazed right off the vine. Keep cool and shell as soon as possible after picking for freezing. Not well adapted to southern climates where the spring heats up too quickly. Pam Dawling in Virginia has great success with Sugar Ann but cannot grow the tall longer-season Sugarsnap in her climate. Smooth-seeded peas germinate better in colder soils than wrinkle-seeded peas, but are not as sweet. Dawling suggests that forsythia flowering signals time to sow snap and snow peas. |

CLIMBING SNAP PEA Snap peas have both crisp, sweet, edible pods and tender peas to be enjoyed steamed, stir-fried, or raw. All parts of the peas (Pisum sativum) plant are edible, too, including flowers, tendrils, and pea shoots. Sow: Jan; Sept-Oct 70 days. https://www.kitchengardenseeds... This brilliant, beautiful new tendril Snap Pea features bicolored pink and purple-red flowers and deep bluish-purple pods that add an extra dash of flair to both the veggie garden and crudité platters. The pods are sweetest when picked before they fatten to their maximum size. Vines grow up to 8 feet tall and cling tightly to any trellis. (OP.) Germination: 5-10 days Maturity: 70 days Sugar Magnolia' isn't just a famous Grateful Dead song, it is also a beautiful, fine-flavored, edible-pod pea with purple flowers. Long hypertendrils (vigorous, multi-branching tendrils) act as extra sturdy supports for 6'-7' vining plants, creating an airy structure that helps prevent mildew. Some of these open-pollinated peas may be speckled with green, or be fully green. RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 40°F, ideally 60°–80°F and again 10 to 12 weeks before your average first frost date. In Mild Climates, sow in fall or winter for winter harvest. Best grown in temperatures less than 85°F. It isn't absolutely necessary, but seeds can be treated before sowing with an inoculant, called rhizobia, that are bacteria that work with pea roots to create nitrogen, an important nutrient for plant growth. Once applied, the inoculant can live on in the soil from year to year, but it may be beneficial to add it when planting peas in an area where they have not been grown in 3 to 5 years, or in acidic soils where inoculant may not survive. |
