I don't see any advantage in planting deeper than they are in the seedling form. I am growing mine from seed, if you are buying plants I still feel the same. Al

are you thinking you can plant them like a tomato ..

i doubt you can do that.. but experiment .. if you have a bunch ....

also.. are they extremely leggy from indoor growth?? .. if so ... next year.. indoors ... increase light.. and make sure its within 2 inches from the plant.. grow a stubbier plant.. and you wont have to plant it deep ...

I've grown snaps for many years from seed and when I plant them in the garden they go in at the depth they were growing in their pots. There is really no advantage to planting them deeper and I think there would be a disadvantage. Unlike Tomatoes which grow roots along their stems if planted deeper snaps do not. Of all thge veggies and flowers I grow and have grown over the last 30+ years the only one that goes deeper in the soil than they were in the pots is Tomatoes

All my snaps are pinched once and some twice before they are planted in the garden. I prefer a stronger shorter plant with more flowers. Al

Thanks Al & Co.! I'm clueless on the snaps, so I appreciate the input! Prolly bury em deeper.......
