Description: Just a little taller and fuller than our other favourite container pea (Tom Thumb), Patio Pride is extremely productive from early spring onwards. The snap peas are delicious and tender and produce in just 40 days from sowing. Plan for succession plantings that will keep you nibbling and delighted right through the season.
Pea plants are able to withstand hard frosts if sown outdoors under cool conditions. Sow seeds outdoors as soon as soil can be worked in spring or even earlier to pots with fresh potting mix.

Sowing: Indoors: for windowsill peas, sow March to April. Fertilize with a kelp based fertilizer, such as Sea Magic, from first watering.
Planting outdoors: In the garden, sow 1 seed, 2 - 3 inches apart, 1/2-1" in depth. Plant in rows. Support with a short trellis. No need for thinning as pea plants like to be crowded. Sowing in double or even triple rows, 4 inches apart will save space.
