Step 2 : Check a sheet of paper towel and placed the peas in the middle of paper towel. Step 3 : Placed the peas in plastic bag. Check it daily and keep it wet. Peas will take days to sprout. Step 4 : Once they sprout plant them in soil bed.
Step 5 : Wait for the first one to pop up. Once the first one pops up, others will follow quickly. S ugar snap peas are an annual crop which means the plant will die at the end of the season. I know its sad right but the good news is that sugar snap peas capture and store nitrogen in the soil which helps. Why is Nitrogen in the soil so important? Nitrogen is really important for plant growth, plant food processing and the creation of chlorophyll.
Without enough nitrogen, plants cannot grow taller, or produce enough food in the form of seeds, pods, fruits or roots. Directions :. Peel and finely chop the onion, ginger, and garlic. Chop the broccoli into florets. Pop the coconut oil, onion, ginger and garlic into a large saucepan.
Screw small cup hooks or closed-eye bolts into a wooden fence at inch intervals, working both horizontally, across the fence, and vertically from the top to within a foot of the ground.
Plant sugar snap peas at the base of the fence, and guide each vine onto the cord support as it grows high enough to reach the lowest string. Pieces of rebar, cut to length, make excellent sturdy stakes, and you can bend them into candy-cane shapes to act as short anchoring stakes for the line-support-style trellis. If you do not have access to a cutting disc or hack saw, ask employees at a local do-it-yourself store if they will cut them for you.
If you use garden stakes made from small-diameter metal, wooden dowels or bamboo anywhere in your garden, place something on the top of those under 5 feet high to help prevent eye injuries. The stake can become nearly invisible under foliage, and someone bending over to harvest a crop may not see it until too late. Clean metal cans inverted over the ends work well, as do tennis balls with holes punched out for pushing them on over the stakes.

In the fall, plant sugar snap peas in the last 8 to 10 weeks before the first expected frost to guarantee a plentiful harvest. Allow 18 to 24 inches between single or pairs of rows. Allow 8 to 10 inches between double rows in pairs. Once the seeds have germinated, cover the seedlings if a light frost is expected. This protection will help the plants continue to grow and to produce earlier. Figure 2.
The beds for sugar snap peas should be 8 inches high and 18 to 24 inches apart. Sugar snap peas are nitrogen-fixing plants: They take nitrogen from the air and change it into a form that they can use for food. To increase the crop, add a nitrogen-fixing inoculant, which contains the bacteria that inoculates the plant roots and helps it convert nitrogen into plant food. An inoculant is usually a powdery material that you moisten with water and coat the seeds with before planting.
Inoculants are sold in small packets at garden stores and via the Internet. They are especially useful in an area that is being planted for the first time. Do not let the soil dry out but do not overwater. You may need to irrigate once a week if no rain has fallen.
