April 21, 2011Q.Snow Pea Plants
When is the time to prune your snow peas? My plant is 6 feet tall and had lots of blooms last year. Do you need to go just above the soil in September, or can I trim it back now in the spring for this year's harvest.

Certified ExpertA.After harvesting cut the plant's stem at soil level and dig in the roots to boost the soil's nitrogen.

June 1, 2011Q.Care of Snow Pea Plants
The leaves have white spots on them and also a powder like covering on the lower part of the plant and leaves. The lower leaves are turning brown and drying up. Is it normal, and what can I do about it if the plant is infected?

June 20, 2011Q.Oregon Sugar Pod Snow Pea
How do I know exactly when to harvest the snow pea? They just grew within the last week, but don't know how large they need to be before harvesting? Also, some of the pods have some peas in them, but how big do the peas or pods need to be when picking them? I tasted one raw and tasted a string in it. Do I need to remove a string? I am new at gardening, especially snow peas.

July 1, 2011Q.Too Much Nitrogen
I made a raised vegetable bed and filled it with bagged topsoil. I think it has too much nitrogen because I have four foot tall snow pea vines and not a single flower. My bush beans are large and leggy, but no beans. Any fixes or do I need to start over? How can I lower the nitrogen level?

Do snow pea pods grow back on the plant after picking?

July 18, 2011A.Yes, peas with keep on coming. Do remember to fertilize lightly after several pickings to help the plant keep producing bloom and fruit. They will begin to slack off production and "bolt" when the weather gets hot. In most areas you can get both a spring and fall crop of peas.

July 18, 2011Q.Snow Pea
I had a lot of success with my snow pea plants when I had lots of peas picked back in mid June. The plants rotted after that. My question is, how early can I grow new snow pea plants? Can I start now in late July or should I wait for cooler days?
