Sugar Snap Peas 9ft. Tall (and Growing) - How To Pick?

rnewste · March 20, 2013

Folks,

Thanks for the suggestions. As the containers weigh over 130 pounds, it will take several people to tip them over, which seems to be the best option. I don't want to cut the stalks and pull them down through the cage as this would destroy future growth of the vines.

Happy problem to have I suppose as Dee said - but I never counted on having to do this to pick the pea pods.

Fertilizer used was 1/2 cup Epsom Salts and 2 cups Espoma Plant-tone. They were planted on October 20.
