    Seed Spacing: Sow seeds 1” to 1 1/2” apart in rows 8 - 12” apart. No need for thinning as pea plants like to be crowded.

    Growing in Containers: Not well-suited for containers due to height, but work well in raised beds.

    Fertilizing (Garden): Plant in a garden bed amended with compost. No additional fertilizer is required.

    Watering (Garden): Water new transplants regularly to establish roots. Once established, water deeply as required.

    Notes: There are three types of peas - shell, snow and snap. Shell peas, like the name suggests, are shelled prior to eating. Snow peas have tender, sweet pods which are harvested when the peas are still small. Snap peas have succulent pods and are harvested and eaten whole once the peas have become plump.

    Note: Peas require a trellis or netting.

    Suitability for indoors: Dwarf varieties may be grown in the windowsill in spring.
