Plant near alyssum, carrots, chives, corn, lettuce, mint, radish, spinach, turnip. Chives have the ability to repel aphids.

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.

Instructions
Peas are a cool season crop and seeds can be sown directly in the garden in early Spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Soil temperature should be between 10-16° C (50-60°F) . To speed up germination, soak seed 30 minutes to 24 hours in room temperature water before planting to speed up germination. Space seeds and plant to the depth indicated below. Press seeds into the soil to ensure good contact and cover with 2.5 cm (1 in.) of soil. After planting, water seeds with a gentle mist or shower. It is critical to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy during germination. When your seedlings reach a height of a few centimetres (inches) and have developed 2 or 3 pairs of leaves, it is important to thin them out, according to the plant spacing indicated below. Do not allow the soil to become dry, as young plants have underdeveloped roots and can quickly dehydrate, particularly in windy conditions. Pea seeds can be succession planted every to 2 weeks until mid June for a continuous supply of fresh beans. Harvest peas regularly to encourage further production.
- Planting Depth: 2.5 cm (1in.)
- Seed Spacing: Sow pea seeds roughly 2.5 cm (1 in.) apart in rows, keeping rows approximately 75 cm (30 in.) apart.
- Plant Spacing: 10 cm (4 in.)
- Instructions for Nutrient Care: Apply SUPERThrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
- Snap peas have fat, juicy and sweet edible pods. They are usually the earliest peas to mature. Harvest when the peas inside are just starting to swell. Use snap immediately after harvest for best quality and flavor. Harvest peas in the morning after the dew has dried. They are crispiest and sweetest then.
- Peas do not like excessive heat and will do poorly when temperatures exceed 26°C (80ºF).
- Keep an eye out for birds as they are prone to snack on sprouted peas. If necessary, cover young peas with a row cover.
- Most pea varieties are self-supporting during growth. Taller pea varieties are more productive and easier to harvest if they are trellised or fenced.
- Peas can be grown as microgreens for the quick-growing shoots.
- Do not overwater as wet soil promotes root rot diseases and slows plant growth. Water needs are most critical after flowering. Drought stress will decrease yield due to pod abortion and reduce seed size, increase pod stringiness, and alter seed quality.
- Peas have shallow root systems and care should be taken when cultivating and weeding near the plants.
- Flowers falling off plants? Plants may have been water or heat-stressed just prior to or after the flowers open. Pea flowers are very sensitive to temperatures above 26°C( 80ºF) and if dry conditions occur, the plants will shed their flowers.
- Stringy peas are the result of heat or water stress. Fibers in the pods get tougher making the pods less desirable.

"Looking forward to harvesting these for salads or stir frys"
Delicious and grew well
"Planted these indoors in the spring, now getting a good harvest of pods. Very sweet and great to eat raw right from the plant. No issues."
Beautiful Snap Peas
"Low maintenance and easy to grow, plus tasty pods. Only downfall is that a lot of the seeds I had maybe 20-25 percent are bad and will rot or turn moldy upon planting instead of growing. The plants that did turn out are very hardy and produce nicely."
