Title: Peas. What to sow next?
Post by: Deborah1 on May 25, 2020, 14:10

Hello. I have some Hurst Greenshaft and some Delikett sugar snap. I want to sow some now and some in two or three weeks time. Any thoughts on which way round would be helpful - and experience/advice regards later sowings. Both will be started off in pots rather than direct sown. Thanks.

According to my seed catalogue, HGS takes about 13-16 weeks to be ready after sowing; sugar snap takes 11+ weeks.  So it depends on whether you want them to be ready at about the same time, or to have a gap.
