First time I've tried snow peas - the golden variety I have has been great up until about a week ago...tasty and beautiful. Now they have started to look deformed, and are getting a little brown. Production is slowing down as it's getting pretty hot here in Nashville, but my snap peas look fine. Could this be caused by too much rain - maybe the snow pea is just more susceptible than the snap?
Thanks for your help!
It usually is a sign of improper watering, the roots get too dry and the plants want to set seeds so the peas go brown and tough like the dried peas we by for soup ect. maybe a good mulch on the soil could help retain some moisture and cool the roots down IF your temp has rocketed.
I can only think IF possible pick the peas earlier than you would normally if they are ready as once the peas start to go hard and brown, it's very difficult to pull them back.
Maybe someone else in your zone can help further.
Best regards, WeeNel.
