Our latest video dives into how to grow sugar snap and snow peas from start to finish. Spring is around the corner, and for those waiting for the ground to thaw, it’s time to think about your cool-season plant list.
Peas grow in the cool-season. In warm-winter climates like SoCal, we plant them in the fall and enjoy them over winter and into spring (they don’t do as well when grown in spring). Everywhere else grows them in early spring. Christy walks you through this plant profile so you feel prepared for planting when the time comes.

Warm-winter gardenerds: if you missed planting these in fall, you can still try to grow them now. Start ASAP, because when the weather warms up, peas tend to wane quickly. Then put a reminder in your calendar to try them again (with more success guaranteed) in late October/early November.
