Why Choose Mammoth Melting Sugar Snow Peas?

Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Direct sow 4–6 weeks before the last frost when soil temperatures are approximately 45–65°F. Make a later planting for fall harvest where local conditions allow.
• Sunlight: Plant in full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of light. Peas prefer cool growing conditions and may struggle in intense summer heat.
• Soil: Choose fertile, well-drained soil with a pH near 6.0–6.8. Avoid excessive nitrogen because peas fix nitrogen naturally.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1–2 inches deep and approximately 1–2 inches apart.
• Spacing: Space rows about 18–24 inches apart and provide room for airflow around the vines.
• Support: Install a trellis, netting, or other support before vines become large. Support helps keep pods clean and makes harvesting easier.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist without waterlogging. Water at the soil line when possible and avoid wetting the foliage during flowering.
• Fertilizing: Add compost before planting or use a light balanced fertilizer according to label directions. Avoid heavy nitrogen applications.
• Harvesting: Harvest in approximately 60–70 days, while pods are flat, tender, and filled with small peas. Pick frequently to encourage continued production.
