planting snap peas from seed Snap Pea, 'Sugar Snap'(P. sativum) Sugar snap needs no introduction!! Bred by visionary pea breeder Calvin Lamborn at Gallatin Valley Seed in the 1970s, it introduced the public to a whole new class of pea, the edible podded snap pea. Few even bother to argue that it is still the best tasting, over 40 years later. Vigorous 5 6 vines start cranking out the peas just as Cascadia starts falling off.

(P. sativum) Sugar snap needs no introduction!! Bred by visionary pea breeder Calvin Lamborn at Gallatin Valley Seed in the 1970s, it introduced the public to a whole new class of pea, the edible-podded snap pea. Few even bother to argue that it is still the best tasting, over 40 years later. Vigorous 5-6’ vines start cranking out the peas just as “Cascadia” starts falling off. Early summer just wouldn't be the same without Sugar Snap. Due to years of neglectful production and processing, this variety had become heavily contaminated in the industry about a decade ago to the extent that we were seeing up to 30+% off-types (snow and shelly types) in what was commercially available. We did the work to shore up the purity of this variety years ago, and have been reselecting annually since 2014. We're proud to share what we feel to have been some of the best seed available for the better part of the last decade. The variety's only weakness is a lack of resistance to mildew in areas where that is a problem.

Growing Info

SOWING:

Seeds can be sown as soon as the soil can be worked in the early Spring. Some people try to push the season even earlier by sowing in flats indoors and transplanting, but we are not those kinds of people (peas don't love to be transplanted). Direct seeding is strongly recommended. 

Note: Fully saturated cold soil can cause big fleshy seeds like peas to rot, so waiting for a dryish spell in regions that see a lot of precipitation in the early spring, (like here in the PNW) is recommended for good emergence. 

PLANTING DEPTH:

1/2-1"

SPACING:

6-8 seeds per linear foot (thinning further is not generally needed)

EMERGENCE:

5-14 days @ soil temp 50-75F

LIGHT:

Full sun to part shade

FERTILITY:

Low to medium. Peas (and other legumes) are able to produce their own usable nitrogen from atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that colonize specialized nodules in their roots. Too much soil fertility can cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of pod set. High nitrogen can also produce more disease-susceptible plants.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

It can be quite beneficial to mix pea seeds with commercially available bacterial "inoculants" to encourage the beneficial symbiotic relationship in the growing plant's root nodules, especially if growing on ground that hasn't been planted with peas before. This can increase yields and improve plant health. In gardens or fields where peas have been grown regularly, there are often adequate populations of the beneficial bacteria already present and inoculant isn't necessary.

Provide a trellis for support.

Peas love cool weather! Avoid sowings that will mature in the heat of mid-late summer, as peas will quickly become starchy and tough.

Great buy!
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / White
My husband loves these. The socks are warm and thick and extremely comfortable. They support the foot and he works outside all day and has had them for a little over a month. They stay in place and don’t move move around while he’s outside moving around.

Good quality
Size: Large, Color: (035) Steel / White / Black
These are a bit thicker then a compression sock and they come up higher on the ankle than a no-show sock normally does. They are very comfortable and soft.
