Peas grow in cool climates and can be planted when the soil is workable. This detailed explanation explains why planting sugar snap peas early in spring is best for growth.

Sugar snap peas love early spring cooler temps. They flourish at 45-75°F (7-24°C). Planting early lets plants grow in perfect conditions before summer heat, reducing the risk of pod formation and stunting.

Sugar snap peas can be planted immediately into the garden when the soil reaches 40°F (4°C). Check soil temperature with a thermometer. In frigid winters, the soil may need to thaw and dry out before working.
