Harvest
Sowing Outdoors
Make a flat bottomed drill, 5cm deep and 15cm wide and water it well. Sow seeds approximately 7.5cm apart, spacing them evenly in a zigzag manner. Backfill with soil, and firm it down with the flat edge of a rake. Allow about 60cm between rows. Support As the peas start to grow, support them with netting or pea sticks.
Aftercare
As seedlings emerge, the shoots are very attractive to birds, placing a few little twigs over the row will give some protection. Keep well watered around the base of the plants; do not wet the leaves. Sow regularly for continuous crops.
Advice
For an earlier start, seeds may be sown indoors in late winter and planted out once about 20cm tall and acclimatised to outdoor conditions. For early outdoor sowings, if necessary warm the soil first, under a cloche or polythene. Pick pods regularly. 0 0
How To Grow
Peas are one of the easiest and most rewarding crops to grow, offering sweet, fresh harvests straight from the pod. From mangetout and sugarsnaps to traditional shelling peas, sowing from seed gives you the best choice of varieties and a season-long supply.
Outdoor Sowing Sow directly into well-drained soil from early spring, placing seeds 5cm deep and spacing 7–8cm apart. Keep rows 60cm apart and provide support such as pea sticks, netting or trellis for climbing varieties. Water regularly, especially during flowering, to support healthy pod formation.
Feeding Start feeding when flowers appear. Apply a high-potash liquid feed every two weeks until the end of harvest, or use a granular fertiliser monthly, watered in well at the base of plants. This boosts flower and pod development for heavier crops.
Harvesting Pick peas from the bottom upwards, ideally in the morning when sugar levels are at their highest. Regular picking encourages plants to keep producing.
Companion Planting Peas enrich soil with nitrogen and pair well with carrots, radishes, lettuce, spinach, beans, cucumbers and brassicas. Marigolds and nasturtiums also make excellent companions, helping deter pests naturally.
