Growing Guide
Season: Cool growing weather; severe heat shortens productive growth.
Sowing: Direct-sow into a sunny, well-drained bed and provide support if the seed line climbs.
Soil and feeding: Use a well-drained growing medium with mature compost. Feed according to crop needs, soil fertility and the fertiliser label, rather than a fixed schedule for every vegetable.
Care and Harvest Guide
Avoid waterlogging, keep moisture steady during flowering and pod filling and do not overfeed nitrogen.
Pick plump green pods before peas become hard and starchy; shell unless the packet identifies an edible-pod type.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
