Oregon and Sugar Pod II Spring is an early maturing cultivar with vines that are only about 22 inches long. If the crop is planted late, Wando is the cultivar to plant because it will produce a crop under higher temperatures than the other cultivars. Venus is an early maturing cultivar that is resistant to Fusarium wilt, race 1. Sugar Ann is a cultivar of Sugar snap pea that should be tried in the garden because it does not need trellising as most Sugar snap varieties do. Sugar snap peas resemble the standard pea pod except both the pod and peas are edible.
Snow peas are the flat-podded type used primarily in Oriental cooking.
It is best to base fertilizer application on the results of a soil test. Collect a representative sample from the 0-6 inch depth in the garden. Mix this sample and take 1 pint of soil to the county Extension office. The sample will be sent to Clemson University for analysis. A copy of the results will be sent to you with a recommendation of how much fertilizer should be applied to the garden.
