Green Peas Seeds

Growing green peas is relatively straightforward and rewarding. Here’s a concise guide to sowing and caring for green pea seeds: Timing and Location: Sow green pea seeds directly outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, approximately 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date. Peas prefer cool weather and can tolerate light frosts. They can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest. Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Peas thrive in soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) and incorporating organic matter like compost to improve fertility and drainage. Sowing: Sow the seeds 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) deep and about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Space rows 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart. No thinning is required as peas grow best when planted closely together.
