Transplanted some pea plants in our garden a week or so ago. Discouraged to already find red spider mites crawling all over the now 4 in. vines. Blasted them with a neem + dr bronners peppermint soap soln two days in a row but still see some crawling about. Not sure if frequent neem application or even spider mites themselves would be harmful to the plant but with all the plants, compost, containers, structures, fertilizers and pest control products that seem necessary, gardening is tougher and more expensive than I expected for plants that may not even bear fruit.

Im in Mesa Az and just have garden peas a couple weeks old and Im about to plant dwarf peas. Crossing my fingers. Theyre one of my favorite food but I have truly sucked at growing! So Im hoping the fall will be kinder and they actually make more than a couple pods! I had something kill the fist ones and I think powder mildew. All yellowed and died as they were finally making flowers and had a couple pods. When I was younger we lived in Virginia for awhile and my dad grew peas and Id take a paper bag of them for lunch.

This was incredibly helpful! My daughter got a fairy garden that had snap pea seeds. They quickly took over the plastic garden so I took them out and put them outside with zero research and information. They are now producing pods! I found this looking for when its time to harvest. But now I definitely want to grow them again next year, but have a better place in my yard in mind to give them cooler temps and a little shade. Thanks, Kevin!

Thanks, getting ready to try again, and this should help a lot. Something ate all our shoots a few years ago--we suspect pigeons or doves--so we put netting over them, and that seemed to work, but we didn't have a handy system for removing and replacing it for weeding. I guess once they get up high enough, you don't have to worry about weeding?

I live in Arkansas which is hot and humid in the summer (zone 7. Our summer temps are over 90. I don't think that the peas would grow into fall. We grow a lot of crops here that do love the climate. Cotton, soybeans, watermelon, tomatoes, pepper and cucumbers are a few. Do you think that the peas could be planted again in the fall?

Sugar pod peas never make it into the house. They are my go-to snack while puttering in the garden. The whole juicy plump pods are the point instead of just the immature peas inside. The outer pod is crisp, crunchy juicy and very sweet. I don't have the time to fuss with popping the pods open to eat only the peas.

Just sow your peas into a length of plastic rain guttering, three across and 1 inch apart.
Then when they have grow a bit, water the gutter well and slide the whole line into a trench drawn with a hoe.
No need to buy loads of expensive rubbish from specialist companies.

Fantastic video, thank you so much! I went crazy and planted 200 peas over the past 3 months. The first ones are huge and have hundreds of flowers but almost no peas. Am I doing something wrong? I gave them phosphorus two weeks ago and some of them started to produce.

Intersting fact - Snow Peas at least in my country are called - pod beans - and we make some kind of stew from them
Shelling peas - this is actually what we call peas - stew with some pork mean inside and some tomato paste - its amazing.
Never seen snap peas. :)

I have green and purple snap peas growing, started quite a few weeks ago. Tons of edible flowers, amaranth, chamomile, sunflowers, and radishes! May not seem like a lot but I live in the mojave desert so I'm extra excited about a little green in my garden bed.

This video is my childhood. Me and grandpa planting all kinds of things and when it came time to harvest, we ate practically all of the peas fresh off the vine while we worked. I wish peas grew better than they do in my part of Florida.

Sugar snaps are like candy for me. My brother grew some one year and it was difficult to not eat every one i found. Many ppl feel the same about cherry tomatoes and i think thats one of the best things about gardening, just grazing as you go.

Remember to harvest your beans and peas every couple of days, to encourage a continuous crop. The plant starts to die back if they're not harvested often. Once the plant has successfully replaced it's seed, it's job is done.

We had a pretty successful group of snap pea vines going, they were producing crop, and theyre suddenly all dying. We dont know what happened. Are they not supposed to be direct sun? Weve been careful with the watering
