Planting and Care Instructions
Sow in full sun in the spring and late summer. Peas will tolerate some frost and are very sensitive to heat. Plant 1 seed every 2 inches. Do not thin. Plants perform best when supported by a trellis. Support 2 rows at the same time by placing the trellis between 2 rows and letting plants grow together. Harvest when pods are filled out to encourage production.
