Snow peas are available in December.
The snow peas sown in late August in autumn are harvested and marketed from December to March every year. Snow peas are overwintering plants, and for overwintering cultivation, they are sown from late October to early November.
The time to plant snow peas is spring, autumn and winter. In spring, you can choose around February to March. If you are in the northerly area, you can do it in April to May. Early-maturing varieties are generally planted in autumn, mostly in early September. Overwintering cultivation is usually carried out from late October to mid-November. Don't plant too early or too late. If you plant in winter, you can harvest in April or May of the next year.
Watering and fertilizing
(1) Watering Snow peas require relatively humid air humidity and soil moisture during the entire growth period. Appropriate water control during the seedling stage can promote the growth and development of the root system, but if the seedlings are mainly fed, low humidity will reduce the quality and quality of the product.
Excessively dry air during the flowering period often causes flowers and pods to drop. When the soil moisture is too high, it is easy for roots to rot and cause diseases. If the pods encounter drought during the growth period, it will cause the pod fibers to harden prematurely, mature prematurely, and reduce quality and yield.
(2) Fertilization Although snow peas have root nodules that can fix nitrogen, they still cannot meet the needs. They must also absorb a certain amount of nitrogen from the soil for growth and development. The amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium absorbed by snow pea plants during the entire growth period is nitrogen the most, potassium second, and phosphorus the least.
Therefore, when fertilizing snow peas, you need to pay attention to the reasonable combination of various elements. In particular, you should pay attention to applying more high-quality soil fertilizers, because the various trace elements in soil fertilizers are more complete and can better Meet the growth and development needs of snow pea plants.
