You can see the tiny flower in the picture, above. Growing sugar snap peas in Virginia can be challenging. I learned to plant on St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, but then I heard that in Virginia, you&#8217;re supposed to plant on President&#8217;s Day. All well and good, but the ground was still covered with snow on President&#8217;s Day. It took a few weeks to thaw out, and then a few weeks until the temperatures were high enough not to kill the plants. So in the ground they went on St. Patrick&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p>Now the wait is on. Sugar snap peas hate warm weather, and the temperatures here are already in the 80s during the day. If they can get enough cool evenings I think they should develop peas. At least I hope so. I can&#8217;t wait for some fresh pea pods to enjoy raw. Have you ever eaten raw peas straight from the pod? They&#8217;re so sweet, juicy and good, they&#8217;re amazing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/sweet-pea-flower-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3769\" src=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/sweet-pea-flower-2.jpg\" alt=\"green pea flowers\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/sweet-pea-flower-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/sweet-pea-flower-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/sweet-pea-flower-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/sweet-pea-flower-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/sweet-pea-flower-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So far this season, our green peas look about as healthy as I&#8217;ve ever seen them.
