Growing Instructions
Starting your seeds
You can start Snap Pea seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing Snap Pea seeds, plant them about 1 inch deep in well-drained soil, spacing them 2–4 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches apart to give them enough room to grow.
Harvesting your seeds
To harvest snap peas wait until the pods are plump and well-filled, but the peas inside are still tender. Use clean scissors or shears to cut the pods from the plant. Regular harvesting promotes continuous pod production.
