INTRODUCING PEA SEEDS

Peas have long been appreciated for their sweet flavor and early productivity. These legumes originate in the Mediterranean and are both delicious and useful for the home garden. They fix nitrogen to improve soil quality and well are suited for outdoor growing in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 11. Their inclination for cooler weather makes them ideal for early spring or late summer planting.

PLANTING PEA SEEDS

As soon as the soil can be worked, sow pea seeds directly to their final location. They can be planted in spring or late summer for an autumn harvest. Plant them 1 inch deep, spacing seeds as indicated on your packet for your given variety. Peas will germinate best in cool soil, usually sprouting within a week or two.

MAINTAINING PEA PLANTS

Water the plants consistently, especially during flowering and pod development. Add mulch around pea plants to stop evaporation and to keep roots cool. Climbing pea varieties will need support in the form of trellises or stakes for effective growth. Harvest peas regularly to encourage continued production; the more you pick, the more they produce.
