I had my last fresh sugar snap pea 2 weeks ago ... the vines kept growing until about 5 days ago ... [View all]

... but the flowers stopped producing fruit in late October because the pollinators had gone to
bed for the winter aka they had died.

Sugar Snap Peas hints:
Soak peas in water for about 2 days and plant outside in mid to late August where another crop
is done for the year such as sweet corn and or potatoes.

If it is very hot make sure the young plants get watered.

Give them some strings or netting to climb up.

Protect the young plants from rabbits.

Eat 'em fresh from the vine every day starting in late September.

Hope for a late frost.

Good in the spring too.

I like the Amish Snap Peas from Seed Savers Exchange Decorah, IA
