GOLDEN SWEET SNOW PEAS
I have tried the past few years to grow snow peas in our zone 5 fall garden which are sometimes intensely humid! I started snow peas indoors under lights to help them germinate. I placed them out in the garden towards the end of July. I had a terrible infestation of cucumber beetle this year. I placed these where I had to pull out some of my cucumber vines. They were about 5inches tall and did not even touch the bottom of my trellis. Well, they are blooming this week and producing pods! My experiment worked. I think starting them indoors and placing outside, for succession planting did work. I'm leaving them on for a few more days to see if they turn a bit more yellow. They are a delightful lemon yellow color and easy to see. Their purple blooms are extremely pretty.
These seeds are from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
We tried a few and they were very tender and tasty! I can't wait to have a stir fry/add them
to our fall salad.They are very strong vines, too and were not bothered by any bugs in
our fall garden.
