Companion Planting: Plant near alyssum, carrots, chives, corn, lettuce, mint, radish, spinach, turnip. Chives have the ability to repel aphids. Mint not only enhances both the taste and health benefits of dishes, but also improves flavor. Alyssum serves as an attractant for pollinators and promotes the presence of green lacewings, which are natural predators of aphids. Avoid planting peas in close proximity to garlic and onions as they can impede the growth of peas.

Suggestions
If peas become too mature to be used as a snow type, shell the peas for use as a garden type pea. This snow pea can be grown without support, however, if you have lots of windy conditions, it is better to support it.
