SCARBOROUGH SEEDS PEAS SUPER SUGAR SNAP 25 SEEDS

LATIN NAME: Pisum sativum

LIFE CYCLE: Annual

HYBRID STATUS: Open pollinated

DAYS TO MATURITY:  64 days.

64 days. An improved version of the world-famous Sugar Snap pea, Super Snap typically matures 6 days earlier and boosts your yields with its double podding capability. Plumper pods are another improvement, and their crisp texture and sweet flavor are unmistakably Sugar Snap. Excellent to eat raw, steamed, or in a stir-fry.

CULTURE: Peas are a cool-weather crop. Midsummer pickings are not as prolific as earlier harvests. For best yields ensure adequate fertility and a pH of 6.0-7.5. Adjust pH with ground limestone or wood ashes before planting, ideally in the fall. Plant the first sowing in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. In well-drained soil, sow 1-1 1/2" apart in a 3" band (25 seeds/ft.), 1/2-1" deep. Do not thin. Use 

crop supports such as a trellis net or chicken wire to keep vines upright, easy to pick and off the ground where they are less likely to rot if rainy weather coincides with harvest. Suspend the bottom of the trellis or chicken wire just above the young plants. The best time to install a trellis is at planting time. Normal row spacing is 4-6' for trellised peas. Harvest when peas enlarge in the pods.
FALL CROP: Sow about 2 months before frost. Keep seeds well watered to encourage good germination.
INOCULANT: Inoculate peas to encourage formation of nitrogen-producing nodules on the plant roots. This enriches the soil, results in larger plants, and increases yield.
 DISEASES: A common disease is pea root rot (Fusarium sp. or Aphanomyces euteiches) which causes yellowing and die-back of foliage from the ground up. The best control is to ensure well-drained soil and to rotate crops out of legumes for at least three years. Powdery mildew causes white, powdery mold on the leaves, stems, and pods in hot weather. Choose resistant varieties.
