"Peas are able to do just fine in temperatures as low as 28 degrees F. (-2 C.) If temperatures don’t fall below this mark, peas and pea seedlings will be just fine.
When temps are between 20 and 28 degrees F. (-2 to -6 C.) peas can survive the cold but will suffer some damage. (This is assuming that the cold happens without an insulating blanket of snow.)
If snow has fallen and has covered the peas, the plants can tolerate temperatures as low as 10 degrees F. (-15 C.) or even 5 degrees F. (-12 C.) without suffering too much damage."

This YEAR has been full of gardening experiments. I have PLENTY of sugar snap peas to planty in 2023--seeds viable for 2 years, but I have discovered that seeds older than that will often sprout. Probably have to start them indoors, then transplant.
Don't think We will get snow. My "area" , #6, looks like this, which is a large area of real estate. Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvaniua and New York will get their usual Lake Effect Snow, and we will probably be dry, but it Might happen.
"The sugar snap peas will be ready to harvest in
six to eight weeks from sowing. "
Harvest sugar snap peas and pop them in your mouth, toss them into salads or cook them as a healthy side dish.

Peas sprouted about 2 weeks ago.
LOVE that red fencing!
I have some short and green plastic covered fencing which hooks together and I Could, in the future, try peas on those. Great! bc I didn't know what to do with it.
