My sugar snap peas are growing well, but the leaves have started to turn brown on the edges. They're growing in 5 gal. buckets and the soil is wet. Could this be the reason for the leaves turning brown?
Can any other part of the sugar snap peas, i.e. leaves or stalks, be used in cooking?
Asian cuisines often use the pea shoots in many recipes. This article will help explain how to grow and harvest: http://gardening.about.com/od/vegetables/qt/Pea-Shoots-Tendrils.htm
We live in Middle Tennessee (Zone 7a). We planted our sugar snap peas about 7 weeks ago (first weekend of April). The vines have been growing like crazy, but we don't have any flower blooms or pods yet. It seems like there should have been flowers by now. Is this normal?
Temperatures and the seed variety are important determinations on how long it will take for your plants to grow, bloom and produce pea pods.
Check the back of the seed packet you planted. It has all the information about your particular seed you planted.
Patience! If the plants are appearing healthy you should be well on your way to some delicious meals soon.
Here is some links with more information.

A few of our snap peas are curling and splitting open while quite immature. What might be causing this?
Changes in temperature and irregular watering can effect the plants.
Also pollination issue and pests.

I love in Singapore and would like to grow snap peas. But from what I'm reading around, it seems that they need to be sowed when temperatures are fairly low (60 degree F), but we only go to as low as 72 degree F. I tried growing my 1st batch of seeds in a cool shaded area but after 12 days, no sprouts spotted. Was wondering if apart from temperature, could I have done anything else to improve my chances of growing snap peas? Thanks in advance.
Sugar Snap Peas are a cool weather crop.
Perhaps you can grow them in the cooler part of your growing period.

Planted sugar snap peas and they came up fine but some of them seem to just wither in the middle and die. Some at the soil line and some are about 2 inches up. I have no idea what is wrong. I amended the soil, which was very sandy with organic garden soil to help enrich. I did not plant a pea that had been inoculated, just a $1 a pack variety from Wal-mart but it was Ferry-Morse, and I thought that was a pretty good brand. Any help will be appreciated. I am a novice gardener, get excited when things actually grow and am learning all the time and trying different things. Thanks.
Sugar snap peas are a cool season veggie, they will wither away in the heat, especially if they are not watered enough.
Grew some in my garden last year, as I have always done. Usually so good we eat them right off the vine. This time they weren't very sweet at all. Is there something they may be missing?
There are many different varieties of peas. Select varieties that are listed as edible podded peas.
Peas are a cool weather crop so plant as soon as danger of frost is past.
In souther climate plant in fall for the best crop.
Environmental factors can effect growth and taste of the peas.
Harvest just as the pods began to fill out. If the peas get to large, they are less sweet and left to long actually taste bitter.
