Garden peas,Sugarsnap peas and mange-tout(my favorite)Peas need a wee bit of support to climb.we used some old tree prunings last year and it worked a treat.
Remember that little plant that starts of small will be heavy when nearly grown especially after a shower or rain,so get a bit of help to get a sturdy support up.
But lets try and get that far first.
Peas need to be planted 1/2" deep and about 3" apart and your rows need to be about 16" apart.
We start ours off early in old egg cartons filled with soil.Push the peas down into them with your finger.
Dont forget to label your seed trays with the name of the peas and the date you planted them.
Keep them well watered in a warm sunny spot.
When the weather is warm enough you can sow straight outside while planting your seedlings aswell.
One row for seeds,one for the little plants and you will have a nice long cropping season.
One finishing and one starting to crop.
You should have peas in 10 to 16 weeks
If you have an old container you can sow in this and leave it on your sunny patio and pick away at your leisure.
Our celeb singer Pea lo green thinks they are great.
