Snap Pea Seedlings, Sweet Gem 2-pack
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Pisum sativum
VARIETY:
“Sweet Gem Snap”. Strong, sturdy plants that resist lodging and produce abundant harvests of light green pods. Plants and pods are clean, making for uniform and efficient harvests. Vines top out at 45-52" and have excellent resistance to powdery mildew. Excellent flavor with satisfying, crisp texture, and juicy flesh. Sold in packs of 2 cells which each contain about 3 plants.
CULTURE:
Because peas are planted in the early spring when conditions are often wet, good drainage is important. Sandy soils are best. Ensure good yields by adjusting soil pH to above 6.0 using lime, or wood ash where soils are low in potassium. For nitrogen, 20-30 lbs /acre is adequate. Higher amounts may cause lush foliage with poor flowering and fruit set. Peas fix nitrogen in the soil through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria. To ensure adequate numbers of pre-existing bacteria, mix seed with inoculants right before planting. Separate individual seedlings from the cells and plant each in a row. Separate individual seedlings from the cell and plant in a row.
