Plant directly into the garden early, as soon as the ground can be worked. — PEA - SNAP TYPES — aka: Snow Pea botanical: Pisum sativum Snap Peas are a fairly recent innovation in gardening. Introduced in 1979, Snap Pea is a combination of garden and snow peas.The pod of Snap Peas is thick and juicy and deliciously edible. They should be harvested when the Peas are tiny for stir-fries and garnishes. Later the full sized peas taste sweet and crisp and can be eaten in the same fashion as English Garden varieties.

They do best in warm, sandy soil; pH 6.0-6.5. Location should be sunny, sheltered from wind, and soil kept reasonably moist. Be sure to harden off the seedlings otherwise the plant will get a stress set back. Pepper plants have dark green smooth shiny leaves. They grow a sturdy central stem that will support the peppers as they mature. The fruit of all pepper plants grows to full size as a green pepper. When it matures it will change colour (usually to red). It will also change colour off the vine. McKenzie offers both Sweet and Hot peppers. Pepper is a tender perennial which can be grown as an annual.Plant near tomatoes, eggplant, onions, carrots or parsnip.Many hot pepper plants have a dainty profile and decorative fruit.The surge in popularity of spicy tropical foods has boosted the popularity of Hot Peppers in the garden. Chilies and Jalapeños are essential for salsa, curry, nachos and many other modern recipes. Hot Peppers store nicely dried and can then be used for spicing up pizza, sauces and Mexican food. They make beautiful and delicious pickles. Nutritional Facts: Red peppers are high in beta carotene. Pepper Hybrid Super Chili 101548 HOT! A.A.S. winner. Green to red.

Sweet Peppers are enjoyed raw, in stir fries, in casseroles and offer an important flavour to many meat and fish dishes. Nutritional Facts: Sweet (and Hot!)
