How to grow Snow Pea Sweet Horizon Seeds
Snow Pea Sweet Horizon is a popular choice for gardeners due to its high yield and delicious flavor. Sweet Horizon is a taller snow pea variety and will require a system of canes and netting for support for the long vines.
To cultivate this variety, sow seeds directly into the soil in a shallow trench about 5cm deep and 5cm apart. Peas prefer cool weather, so aim for planting between March and June. Sow seeds in 2 or 3 batches at intervals during the growing season to ensure a continuous supply of young pods. Snow pea seeds will germinate in about 7-14 days and plants will be mature in approximately 70 days.
Ensure your soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the flowering and pod development stages. For optimal growth, side dress with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Be vigilant for common pea pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew.
Harvest Sweet Horizon pods when they are young, tender, and sweet, from late May onwards as ready Consistent harvesting encourages continuous production.
