i watch the weather like a HAWK

sugar snap peas go in first directly in the ground

they are not even phased by frost or snow so don't wait...

grab your V hoe stretch a string and drag a little trench

i usually back fill over the peas with a soil fluffy mix

the main thing i look for is 5 days or so of rain and i plant

them just before it starts ...so your only risking 2 bucks

of pea seeds to start them early... remember spring tends to be over quickly
suddenly it'll jump from freezing temps to HOT allot sooner

than your used to having.... OH the trick with PEAS is to pre soak the seeds until they swell
and ADD the black powder inoculate ...it helps them take make root nodules quicker

then shake and bake them til coated...

so the idea is to plant them and they are essentially already growing.... and the rains make them POP that much sooner

then all ya have to do is water them ... a strong wind proof

A fence is absolutely necessary for a climbing variety

i'm ready to build THE MEGA FENCE this year LOL

simple cheap green house plan
