Heyo! I transplanted the 2 biggest ones almost 2 months ago, and planted the rest in ground as seeds a month ago.
I find it unusual that I'm getting no pods yet?
When I grew them in pots on my patio last year I got pods very quickly.
Fed them twice in the last month. Once with fish emulsion water, and second time was gardentone mix. Why 😞

I believe fish emulsion is mostly nitrogen (hence the foliage?) and garden tone is slow release. Hopefully with all these leaves they will produce enough energy to make some flowers! You could try with some liquid fertilizer with more phosphorus if you have that on hand?
Theyll get there. Keep sending them higher. Tall they get the more peas you will get
my sugar snap peas got so huge last year just give it time.
I wouldn’t call those huge. Mine are usually 4-5 feet up before they get serious about blooming prolifically.
Sit tight – harvesting snap peas is mostly a May thing for me.
You can goose them with phosphates if you want. I usually Alaska 0-10-10 when I want to promote blooming.
But I find peas bloom readily without help. Never have bothered with fertilizer on peas.
No worries. Mine are the same age maybe a week older. Never really grew these until two years ago and notice the growth and blooming to peas is exponential. Starts slow but takes off like a rocket about the stage your at now. I got seeds in (8b) a bit earlier this year by 7-10 days, but the last two years peas were not harvested until first of May. Like others say, big is head high or more. Mine will go up to the top post at 7 ft and still keep going until they fall over.
Mine didn’t make peas until they were at least 6’ tall!
Peas really don’t need fed. Some P and K sure, but no nitrogen. They’re legumes and get their own nitrogen from bacteria they feed through their roots.
As for size, I wouldn’t call those massive. They still have some growing to do. Mine always surprise me with how long they take to flower. But once they start, it’s never ending until either the weather or you stop them.
