I direct seeded sugar snap peas recently. I poured out the packet into a 48" wide strip. They are growing up chicken wire and are almost 4 feet tall and thick. You can direct sow. Great video.

back in the 90's i planted sugar snaps on a bamboo structure I built shaped like a large teepee, with an opening and inside put in some brick pavers..the kids in the neighbourhood would go inside and play and when ripe time came they would just yank them off and eat them I had nothing lol

Sugar snap peas are my absolute favorite to grow. They’re so easy, and they are, as you know, delicious!!

" If I can do it, you can do it "...just love these folks. Thankyou for sharing. I'm growing some of these for the first time and I'm pretty pleased so far.

This is the first video I have seen of yours and you had me within 5 minutes. I have now subscribed.

We only grew 2 plants this year...not enough. The reseed tip is awesome!

[Mae-rrye]

You all are a lovely couple! thank you for the tips! Looking forward to planting soon :) Best wishes to you both and your pups!

The inoculant isn't really to make that crop better...but rather future crops. Peas are nitrogen fixers, which means they pull nitrogen from the air and place it into the soil through little nodules on their roots. If you have an area that you had a heavy feeder in previously, planting peas there or beans will increase the nitrogen in the soil. Inoculant just makes that process better and more efficient.

I prefer to direct seed peas, but I soak them overnight in lukewarm-cool water before planting to speed up germination. Great video, welll narrated, thanks!

I have a 14 year old deaf lab myself. Greatest dogs ever.

I’m with you on the early direct sowing of peas; no luck on that here either. I also find that they transplant well.

I just found this channel and I'm glad I did. I've been looking up how to trellis my snap peas. This is my first year growing them by myself. That's how I ended up here. But, there's another video of urs that u mentioned. On the grow light, that I'll be watching. I have a hyper tough grow light and I've been trying to figure out how to suspend it up above my plants, seedlings, etc.
Also, my favorite thing that u mentioned is simply the "KISS" method. LoL! I am huge fan of this method. Ur the first I've heard besides me to mention it or use it in ur everyday life. Lol So that's definitely cool. Also, one more thing, I did subscribe. Hope u and ur family has a good one and thank u for ur wise advice. Until next time.

Thanks for the tips! I've read that peas are nitrogen fixers so they don't require it they actually put it into the soil. And that they are a good crop to rotate with plants that require nitrogen like tomatoes 🍅

[gurbhalla]

Thank you so very much for explaining it nice way and how they work how they should be planted and I also believe that if they are planted indoors first, and bring out, they do more better than just direct link, but if the temperature is right in your direction of them they come more stronger. Also, that’s also one thing.

You should try the Sugar Magnolia Tendril Peas. They are a snap pea that can take the heat. I was still picking peas from my spring planting into September last year. Side-by-side comparisons weren't even close. WAY more productive...plus the tendrils are edible. You can nibble on them while you are waiting on the peas. I eat snap peas almost every day from late spring to first freeze.

BTW, I did a side-by-side comparison again this year to compare taste. They are almost indistinguishable...and the magnolia have already out produced the Sugar snaps 5-fold.
I buy mine from Baker Creek.

My kids take ranch dip or dressing outside and eat the peas right out of the garden dipped in ranch. They love the crunch and cool dipping sauce. I have not been able to cook anything they're gone before I can get to them😂

[craigkirby]

Inoculant works well if you get the inoculant dust to stick to the seeds. This can either be done by adding a few drops of water to some inoculant to form a paste and roll your seeds in it or thoroughly wet the seeds and shake them in the dry inoculant dust.

You guys watching my back yard I just got my 1st sugar snap peas today yay great video brother thank you for sharing

As a child, I suppose 3 ft in height we were sent up the garden to pick the pea pods for dinner. Sitting amoung the vines with a bowl as much got eaten as picked and later when we were podding the peas as many were consumed as mad it to the saucepan.
In the UK, I think, Sugar Snap peas are pea pods which are flat and contain only vestigle peas. They are just Pea Pods. They may be imature but that is how I understand it.
