This productive cool-season variety is prized for its vigorous growth and delicious, flat edible pods. Wonderfully crisp and sweet, Avalanche snow peas are perfect for fresh snacking, salads, stir-fries, and home-cooked dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese reliable plants produce generous yields of nutritious, vitamin-rich pods throughout the growing season, making them a rewarding addition to any vegetable garden. Direct sow seeds in early spring to take advantage of Canada's cool growing conditions. Avalanche snow peas offer good heat tolerance compared with many traditional pea varieties, although they perform best during the cooler temperatures of spring and autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Grow Avalanche Snow Peas?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTender, crisp, and sweet flat edible pods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVigorous growth suitable for garden trellises and supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbundant cool-weather yields with good heat tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA source of vitamins, fibre, and plant-based protein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-pollinated variety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 60–70 days to maturity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows best in full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 10 seeds per packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Grow Avalanche Snow Peas from Seed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sow pea seeds outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Pea seeds germinate in cool soil, and established young plants tolerate light frosts. Because pea roots are sensitive to disturbance, direct sowing is generally recommended over indoor starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a location with full sun and rich, well-drained soil amended with compost. Provide a small trellis, netting, or other suitable support at planting time to help keep the plants upright as they grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpace seeds approximately 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) apart in rows spaced 45–60 cm (18–24 inches) apart. Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist during germination, flowering, and pod development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest frequently when the pods are flat, crisp, and tender, before the seeds inside become noticeably swollen. Regular harvesting encourages continued pod production while growing conditions remain favourable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Snow Peas in Canada\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvalanche snow peas are well suited to Canadian gardens, thriving during the cool spring growing season. Their tolerance of fluctuating temperatures makes them a useful choice for early-season harvests, while late-summer sowings may provide an additional autumn crop where the growing season allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn soils without established populations of suitable nitrogen-fixing bacteria, a pea-specific inoculant may help encourage root nodulation. Apply a light layer of mulch around established plants to retain soil moisture during dry spells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailed instructions covering seed starting, spacing, watering, fertilizing, harvesting, and pest management, read our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1105\/1214\/files\/Pea_Growing_Guide_-_Caribou_Seed_Company.pdf?v=1794259995\" title=\"How to Grow Peas | Complete Growing Guide\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caribouseedcompany.com\/blogs\/in-the-garden\/how-to-grow-peas-complete-growing-guide\" title=\"How To Grow Peas in Canada | Complete Growing Guide\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Grow Peas | Complete Growing Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvalanche Snow Pea Growing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
