Pea Snow
Pisum sativum 'Avalanche'
Avalanche Snow Peas produce dark green, sweet, tender pods on semi-leafless plants.
Snow Peas can be picked at any point between 2.5" and 3.75", depending on your preference. Harvest them often to keep your plants productive.
Peas are a cool-season crop and grow their best before and after the heat of the summer. Plant them in full to part sun with moist (not soggy), loose, well-drained soil. Provide support (trellis, fence, stakes, etc.) to keep pods off the ground. If you have heavy clay soil, consider adding organic matter to help improve drainage.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available March through June, depending on suppliers availability.

Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
