The pods of snow peas are flatter with small, premature peas inside. This variety produces bright green 4" pods that are crisp and tender with tiny, very sweet peas inside. You can eat the entire pod. Peas can be grown in frost-hardy and cold climates and are rich in protein content. Homegrown peas taste so much better than store-bought.
Snow Pea seeds can be planted directly into the garden.
Sow seed directly into the garden soil in spring after the last frost date. They can also be planted again in late summer for a fall harvest.
Plant seeds 1” deep and 8” apart. Soak the seed overnight to enhance germination. They should come up in 5-10 days depending on the soil temperature and grow quickly in cool weather.
Snow peas are short-vining plants and will easily grow up trellises. When you provide support for the 3' vines it will save space and make for easier harvesting.
Peas love cool weather. In fact, they thrive in it, so allow them to have shade for half of the day. Keep their shallow roots cool with a few inches of mulch.
Mulch helps to keep the soil temperatures regulated, and conserves moisture as well. Snow peas have delicate root systems that don’t reach very deep beneath the surface of the soil, so be careful when weeding around your plants.
It's important to regularly pick the young pods because as long as the plant is not overloaded, it will continue to produce blooms that will develop into more pea pods.

Snow Pea leaves and shoots are edible.
The leaves and mature shoots are edible and can add crunch and a hint of pea flavor to sandwiches when mixed with other salad greens. Young pea shoots are popular as edible sprouts.
Features.
Snow peas make great additions to various salads, and stir-fried dishes, or served on their own as a vibrant veggie side. This variety is very productive and easy to grow.
Growing peas improves the soil they are grown in. Peas are a member of the legume family and have a mutually beneficial relationship with soil bacteria that give its roots the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-useable form. This is not only great for your peas but if you leave the roots to break down in your garden the nitrogen will release into the soil for your other crops to use.
Benefits.
Snow peas are high in vitamin C, and are a good source of vitamins A and K as well as iron and magnesium. Eating peas can improve digestion, regulate blood sugar, increase energy, increase bone strength, prevent memory loss, and so much more.
More Information about planting, growing, and harvesting peas can be found in the Farmer's Almanac Growing Guide.

Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.
One of the best cherry tomatoes you'll ever eat!
I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.
These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
