| I am trying for the first time to double crop part of my garden. I have peas growing now and want to grow many other items afterward.
The problem is the peas are not advancing as quickly as expected. They are just starting to blossom. The other seedlings will be ready to go in two weeks. Question: How long does it takes peas to advance from blossom to harvest? The peas have been growing for two months and I do not want to sacrafice them (without a harvest) to make room for what I consider the main crop for the year. |

| Ditto, only mine haven't even begun to blossom yet. The plants are a nice size, like 6-12 inches tall. Luckily I am only planting flowers after the peas, so I can wait for a little longer, but I was doing this as a test run to see if was feasable to do an aearly pea crop in the same bed I was planning on doing tomatoes or peppers etc... |

| Sorry that no one has answered your question, Tombug. I keep detailed records on my beans, but I haven't found a record of flower-to-pod for my peas. However, there should be no need to sacrifice the peas. Just plant your summer crop closely adjacent, or between the rows. Conditions may not be ideal due to shading, but the roots will get established. When you harvest the peas, cut the vines off at the ground, leaving the roots of the peas in the ground. The nodules on the roots of the peas will decay, and the nitrogen in them will be released. This should give a boost to whatever is planted nearby. |

| Hey Tombug, Did you harvest yet? I have just started getting blossoms so was wondering how long I have to go. Thanks, |

| snap and sugar pod 5-10 days after flower Shelling peas 7-14 days after flower *ideal situations* |

| I'm not-so-patiently waiting for my 4' high snow pea plants to blossom! I'm finally seeing 1 blossom today. Its supposed to be in the 90's for about a week, and I fear that will slow them down too. Thankfully, it will cool down after that, so hopefully I'll still get some peas. They are growing like gangbusters for the first time in years, so I'm really hoping I get some peas! |

| My snaps are blooming and starting to produce. I'd say a week or so, give or take. |
