Growing Peas (2010 crop) Nothing beats fresh garden peas. This year we planted one row of Burpee "Sugar Snap" peas. We planted these peas in two rows 6 inches apart with a piece of deer fencing staked between the rows for support. The peas themselves are planted about 2 inches apart and 2 inches deep. |
Within about a week the first peas started sprouting |
Within two weeks the peas were really coming up fast and soon will start grabbing the support with their tendrils. |
The peas are making reasonable headway by June19th. However, I did have very poor germination rates as I planted TWO rows, and only a smattering of them are coming up. It may have been too hot for them. |
The peas are flowering by July 5th, however... they really aren't taking off. I think this has to do with the heat. Next year I should plant these earlier in the season. This might give me better results. |
