I planted snow pea seeds in small pots in Feburary, Kept them in a cool place and planted then in the garden in late march, they are starting to die off now after a great crop, I used dolomite with a little blood and bone mixed in the soil

Peas and beans don't need rich fertilizers. Too much nitrogen will kill them.

When I used raw chicken manure (right from the hen house) less seeds grew. I think the extra nitrogen or acid damaged them.

not too late. I'm growing them up in tropics of far nth qld and they're fruting well. just plant from seed not store bought punnet trays and they'll adapt to your climate better.

I have never heard of Chinese PEAS - I like growing Asian veggies - most are not eaten by insects (exception Chinese Green Cabbage) and they are quick to grow and tasty. What are Chinese Peas - are they similar to snow peas ? Are there any "tricks" to growing peas and beans - so far I have had NO success with either - except for Broad Beans - bumper crops!

I only have a tiny back yard (approx 2.5 metres) and only gets about 3 hours max of direct sunlight. Can snow peas be grown in a hanging garden to give them more sunlight? Not that there's much at this time of the year. Hank.

How do I treat the spotting on my snow Peas, they are about 8 inches high, and how much sun do they need.

I used an old faux iron shelf unit, about 4 feet tall and wide and added rungs of wire vertically and horizontally. Snow peas are beautifully lush and are growing really well but no flowers as yet. Is there anything I can add to encourage flowers?
