Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to healthy people and communities.

More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release.

The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. 'Agriculture and seeds' provide the basis upon which our lives depend. For best yields ensure adequate fertility, pH of 6.0-7.5 and well draining soil.ĪVG. Tips: Peas are a cool weather crop best grown in spring and fall. Do not let peas over-mature as this will slow production.

Harvesting: Harvest snow peas right at the beginning of seed formation and sugar peas when seeds are full size.

Don’t hoe the area as this may damage roots.įertilizer: Too much fertilization may harm peas, as they are vulnerable to nitrogen. Watering: Always keep seeds well watered during germination and then water the plant sparingly. This enriches the soil, results in larger plants, and increases yield. Inoculate peas to encourage formation of nitrogen producing nodules on the plant roots. For fall crops sow 6-8 weeks before first frost date. Calvin Lamborn, who spotted this soft-podded off-type in a field of shelling peas in 1979. If pea is a vining variety its best to have a support or trellis system to help with diseases and yield. Sugar Snap peas were bred in Idaho by Dr. Sow 2″ apart, 1″ deep, with rows 12″-18″ apart. Planting: Plant the first sowing in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Depending on the species, peas can be grown in a pot or in a garden, which makes the plant a good option for all green-thumbs.īefore Planting: Prior to sowing, add wood ashes to the area for fertilization. Peas are a fun plant to grow with different varietals allowing gardeners to eat the whole pod or split the shell open to find bursting peas inside.
