Sugar Snap Peas Yellowing and Dying #762038
Asked July 15, 2021, 9:19 PM EDT
I planted sugar snap peas about mid June. They all sprouted fine and start growing, but a couple weeks after they've sprouted they start turning yellow at the bottom. They get about 8 hours of sun and I water them once per week (thunderstorms are on nature's schedule) for about an hour on a soaker hose. The earliest ones I planted (first picture) actually flowered and made one tiny pea, but I don't think it's going to survive. I dug up two to see if it was root rot, but the roots like fine [to my untrained eyes] (second picture). What else could it be? Is there any chance I can still save the crop? And if not for this year, how do I avoid it in the future?
