Cool-season crop — sow 6–8 weeks before last frost (soil 45°F). Provide trellis for climbing types. Peas fix nitrogen; don't overfeed nitrogen. Harvest snap/snow peas when pods fill out but before fully round. Stop producing when temperatures exceed 75°F; plant again in late summer for fall harvest.
