Dwarf vines grow to only 2’ and do not require support. Medium-sized pods offer excellent sweet eating. Our favorite of the early varieties and deserving of a place in anyone’s garden to celebrate the first peas of the season. Another treasure from the late pea breeder, Calvin Lamborn. \u003cbr\u003e55 days.

Some people try to push the season even earlier by sowing in flats indoors and transplanting, but we are not those kinds of people (peas don't love to be transplanted).

Peas (and other legumes) are able to produce their own usable nitrogen from atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that colonize specialized nodules in their roots. Too much soil fertility can cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of pod set. High nitrogen can also produce more disease-susceptible plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADDITIONAL NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be quite beneficial to mix pea seeds with commercially available bacterial \"inoculants\" to encourage the beneficial symbiotic relationship in the growing plant's root nodules, especially if growing on ground that hasn't been planted with peas before. This can increase yields and improve plant health. In gardens or fields where peas have been grown regularly, there are often adequate populations of the beneficial bacteria already present and inoculant isn't necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide a trellis for support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeas love cool weather! Avoid sowings that will mature in the heat of mid-late summer, as peas will quickly become starchy and tough. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSeed stats\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacket sows approx 6-8 ft\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Pkt","offer_id":37828801527982,"sku":"PEA-SA-pkt","price":4.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":37828801560750,"sku":"PEA-SA-1\/2lb","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":37828801593518,"sku":"PEA-SA-1lb","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/6203\/2046\/products\/sugar_ann_3.jpg?v=1606175505","url":"https:\/\/www.uprisingorganics.sbs\/products\/snap-pea-sugar-ann","provider":"Uprising Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
