Seed Sowing & Growing Notes

Peas are a cool-weather crop. Direct-seed in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Provide a strong trellis or support for vines to climb.

Harvesting/Vase Life

Harvest when the pods are brightly colored, taking care when handling delicate vines. Expect a vase life of 5 to 7 days.
