How to grow Snow Pea Sweet Horizon Seeds
Snow Pea Sweet Horizon is a popular choice for gardeners due to its high yield and delicious flavor. Sweet Horizon is a taller snow pea variety and will require a system of canes and netting for support for the long vines.
Sowing Snow Pea Seeds
Sow seeds directly into the soil in a shallow trench about 5 cm deep and 5 cm apart. Peas prefer cool weather, so aim for planting between March and June.
Germination & Maturity
Snow pea seeds will germinate in about 7–14 days, and plants will be mature in approximately 70 days.
Succession Sowing
Sow seeds in 2 or 3 batches at intervals during the growing season to ensure a continuous supply of young pods.
Soil & Watering
Ensure your soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the flowering and pod development stages.
Growing Care
For optimal growth, side dress with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Be vigilant for common pea pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew.
Harvesting
Harvest Sweet Horizon pods when they are young, tender, and sweet, from late May onwards as ready. Consistent harvesting encourages continuous production.
