Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

A way of estimating when it's possible to plant snow peas is to use the USDA zone info for Zone 13a.

Planting Calendar for Snow peas

Frost tolerance for snow peas:	Very tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 7 weeks before last frost.

Since snow peas are very cold tolerant you can plant them a lot earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

The earliest that you can plant snow peas in Zone 13a is January. However, you really should wait until February if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant snow peas and expect a good harvest is probably November. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your snow peas may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a couple of weeks earlier by starting your snow peas indoors.

Last Frost Date

In Zone 13a it never frosts. You should expect an average low temperature of 60°F in the coldest months of winter.

Just be sure to remember that the actual date of last frost is an average because it is based on the USDA zone info for Zone 13a and it can change quite a bit from year to year. Since it never frosts in Zone 13a you do not have to be ready to protect your snow peas in the event of a surprise late frost.

USDA Zone Info for Zone 13a

Here is the info for USDA Zone 13a.

Average Date of Last Frost (spring)	Never
Average Date of First Frost (fall)	Never

This means that on a really cold year, the coldest it will get is 60°F. On most years you should be prepared to experience lows near 65°F.
