Dammit. I planted my snow peas march 12th and they haven't came up yet!

I'm wondering if I should have bought some "nitrogen fixing bacteria" Rhizobium. So I went to three stores and couldn't find any..

Now what do i do? I've got some new seeds soaking in a papertowel.

:cry:

1. I planted sweet peas about 10 days ago and they popped up already

I'm amazed!

don't know about your question, but good luck :pals:

2. Maybe I planted them too soon.

I'm glad for you though!

3. I just found this. I soaked mine in water for 24 hours before I planted them

I wonder if that's the problem.

Snow Peas are edible podded peas with the best features of snap beans (tender and crispy) and garden peas (sweet and meaty). Young Snow Peas are excellent for salads. The plant grows very well in slightly cold climates. Seeds are sown in early spring and fall. The plant begins to produce peas quickly and in large quantity, about 70 days after sowing. Edible pods mature quickly and should be picked for vegetable use when young.

NOTE: Snow Pea seed germination is relatively sensitive to water content in soil. Seeds can be easily rotted and fail to germinate if overwatered or soaked. Keep soil only moist but not soaked during the germinating period.

4. sounds possible

:shrug:

I just stuck two peas in each hole about 2" deep and watered them pretty good every day

of the 10 seeds planted i have 7 babies, one of which is already 2" tall

maybe try again by just sticking them into the dirt ?? :think:

5. Dammit. I'm going to do that right now!

8. Joanne, I always soak mine and they come up in about 10 days

But here we do sweet peas & snow peas in Oct....

Wondering if you planted them deep or if the weather was a bit funky or something? With seeds you never know, like if something was wrong with the seed or what??

I was just about giving up on my carrots -- planted March 22, but they're up TODAY!

[Joanne98]

9. Thanks. I hoping for the best.

[Joanne98]

6. Okay. I planted them all again. I hope their up in 10 days.

7. good luck

I planted early on some stuff and it took over 3 weeks for them to start out of the ground

:pals:

10. Mine were in the ground 2 weeks before they emerged.

I planted the middle of March and then it got quite cold and wet for the next week and a half. Mine started to emerge a couple of days ago, they are up an inch today and I have almost 100% germination. I mulched between the rows this morning. Our garden soil is quite alkaline and so we use pine bark (undied) mulch. I put it down ~4" deep.
