Sowing these directly into the soil will be your best chance at growing snap peas. Peas get quite shocked when they are transplanted, and take longer than usual to recover. Once up, snap peas enjoy turning into a bush, but they will enjoy climbing a little also, so growing them near a trellis is a good idea.

If you have mice issues when germinating, covering the sown peas with some fine metal mesh wire and using bricks or tent pegs to weigh the mesh down is one method which may work - once they pop up remove the wire mesh so they do not get strangled.

Our Snap Pea Variety - Sugar Bon

Sugar Bon is one of the most popular heirloom snap pea varieties. Our seeds are from the awesome fellows at Organic Seeds Australia who partner with Aussie Biodynamic growers to produce their seed (how awesome is that!?). Enjoy a super succulent, plump green pea straight from your garden.

How long between plantings of Snap Pea should I wait to get continual harvests?

In short: 2 weeks

Once snap peas are on, you will have trouble finding them back in the kitchen (they are so delicious to eat straight off the plant!). Planting every 2 weeks will give you a great chance at a bounty, also allowing seasonal variations in temperature and rain to even out. In our climate, we've found peas to be a little temperamental, especially in the hot and wet times so continual plantings help mitigate those effects.
