I love planting sugar snaps but I never get any because DH and the Wildbunch always eats them off the vine, lol. I'm lucky to get a couple of pods to snack on.

I never get any because they don't grow and produce for me....I'd be delighted if they produced and folks ate them! :D We like to cut up sugar snap peas into our salads, so that's the only reason I want to grow them, but sadly, every year nothing happens....piddly little vines come up and no peas to be found. :(

WV....northern most southern state, southern most northern state. Sugar snap peas should do fine here in the spring, as we usually have very cool springs. ;) I just have some crappy soil.

Probably not and, when soaked 24 hrs as they recommend prior to planting, I'm thinking any inoculate would be rinsed off.

Try starting them indoors next year and transplanting. I would think you could start yours in February, since you are probably zoned higher than me at zone #5.

Maybe skip the soaking. I don't soak mine most the time and they sprout fine. Maybe yours get too wet with soaking and planting in clay soil?

I usually skip the soaking, as the clay soil is always sopping wet anyway....but this year I'm soaking, to see if I can get different results. Without the soaking, they tend to take forever to germinate and then are very slow to grow.
