Snow Peas Planting Question ???
 

Hi all

I missed my chance to plant snow peas this spring, can I plant them
late in the summer for early fall harvesting? Is there a second
opportunity or is the timing all backwards?

Thanks for your help.

I had read that fall plantings were not particularly successful in my area
(Michigan) and the one time I tried it (years ago) the results were disappointing.

It's too hot in the day and too damp at night when starting the peas (they tend to
mildew) and the days are just too short later on (so they grow very slowly).

I've read that you could do it, but you'll need a little shade for the
summertime crop to protect from the hottest heat. I was thinking a
trellis suspended directly over to eliminate high noon heat here. One
book says to seed 10 weeks before last frost.

Thanks for the replies. It would appear thar I missed my chance this
year. I will hopefully have learnt my lesson.
