Today I planted Burpee Super Snappy Peas (GUISANTE Super Vigoroso) in the front bed after pulling all the sweet potatoes and adding lots of compost. I placed my tomato cages upside down and planted the peas 2" apart both on the inner side and outer side of the tomato cage ring.
Seed packet information: Pods are 5"-6" long, with 8-10 large peas per pod. Vines need no support and are tolerant of powdery mildew. Harvest in about 65 days.
Sow in average soil in full sun in early spring for first crop, or later summer for fall crop. Sow seeds 2" apart in double rows spaced 6" apart with 24" between each set of rows. Cover with 2" of fine soil. Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days. Thin to stand 6" apart when seedlings are 1"-2" high.
According to the seed packet, I can expect to see sprouts November 5 - November 12, and can expect to harvest around January 3rd.
How did they turn out?
