Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Mammoth Melting Sugar snow pea thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers cooler weather, making early spring and fall ideal planting times. Full sun to partial shade is best for this variety. Ensure 6-12 hours of sunlight daily.
When to Grow
Plant Mammoth Melting Sugar Snow peas in early spring, 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost, or in late summer for a fall harvest. They are suitable for USDA Zones 3-9 and can tolerate light frost.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow the seeds 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting. The plants can grow up to 4 feet tall, so they benefit from support such as trellises or stakes
How to Grow
Provide 6-12 hours of sunlight daily. The ideal temperature for optimal growth is 45-80 F. Regular watering is essential, especially during flowering and pod development, but avoid waterlogging. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest the pods when they are young and tender for the best flavor.
How to Save
Peas will self pollinate. However, if you plan to save the seeds, it is best to isolate by 25-50 feet between varieties to dissuade wandering bees from cross pollinating flowers. Allow the pods to dry on the plants, then thresh and dry the seeds indoors for two weeks before sealing them in an airtight container. Properly stored, pea seeds remain viable for up to five years.
