Peas

Peas are sown in situ from March although there are a few early varieties which can be grown from February or sown in October/November of the previous year.

Prepare the soil by digging in organic Farmyard Manure during the autumn and add a little Growmore Fertiliser to the area a week or two before sowing the seeds.

Seeds should be sown 3 inches apart and 2 inches deep. Leave space between drills for supports to be put in place.

Remember to water peas well during dry spells and feed with Nutri Fruit & Vegetable Feed every two weeks.

Pods are ready when they are well filled. Harvest regularly to keep plants producing.
