i want to try and grow some peas - preferably sugar snap -  in pots, using canes to make a wigwam/tee pee frame.

anyone done this?  any suggestions/tips/advice?

Sugar Snap peas are great to grow in pots!

The benefits are simple. You can grow them in a pot anywhere, you don't have to have a garden, allotment or even a large back yard. In a pot you can also control how much water they get and the soil type they have.

It can be difficult to keep them watered enough and to make sure you have a big enough pot.

I would suggest growing the variety sugar daddy It's a great variety that always produces an amazing crop

Hope that Helps!!

what size are we talking when  you say "big enough pot"?

[Adam Fletcher]

It totally depends upon the amount of peas you are wanting to grow.

I would plant 3/4 in a 12 inch round pot (just an example)

When outdoors planting I generally just go with the flow. Works every time

Thanks
