Growing Conditions
Plant in a sunny to partly shaded position with well-drained soil. Snow peas prefer a fertile garden bed with consistent moisture, especially while seedlings establish and during pod production.
Avoid waterlogged soil. For best results, improve the soil with compost before planting.
Planting Tips
Plant seedlings gently at the same depth they are growing in the punnet. Space plants approximately 10–15 cm apart and water in well after planting.
Install climbing support early so the plants can attach as they grow. Pick pods regularly while young and tender to encourage continued production.
Harvest
Harvest pods when they are full-sized but still flat and tender. Regular picking helps keep the plants producing for longer.
