A delicious snow pea that produces prolific 10-11 cm (4-4.5") flat tender stringless pods, on dwarf, non-climbing vines. Frequently bears 2 pods per cluster growing upward for easier picking. Resistant to pea virus, common wilt, and powdery mildew. Excellent for freezing.
Plant near alyssum, carrots, chives, corn, lettuce, mint, radish, spinach, turnip. Chives have the ability to repel aphids. Mint not only enhances both the taste and health benefits of dishes, but also improves flavor. Alyssum serves as an attractant for pollinators and promotes the presence of green lacewings, which are natural predators of aphids. Avoid planting peas in close proximity to garlic and onions as they can impede the growth of peas.
Peas are a cool season crop and seeds can be sown directly in the garden in early Spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Soil temperature should be between 10-16° C (50-60°F) . To speed up germination, soak seed 30 minutes to 24 hours in room temperature water before planting. Space seeds and plant to the depth indicated below. Press seeds into the soil to ensure good contact and cover with 2.5 cm (1 in.) of soil. After planting, water seeds with a gentle mist or shower. It is critical to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy during germination. When your seedlings reach a height of a few centimetres (inches) and have developed 2 or 3 pairs of leaves, it is important to thin them out, according to the plant spacing indicated below. Do not allow the soil to become dry, as young plants have underdeveloped roots and can quickly dehydrate, particularly in windy conditions. Pea seeds can be succession planted every to 2 weeks until mid June for a continuous supply of fresh beans. Harvest peas regularly to encourage further production.
