Planting Instructions
When to plant:
- Plant your Pea Seeds outside 4-6 weeks before the average last frost for your area.
- Make sure that the soil is warmer than 45 degrees.
How to plant:
- Plant your pea seeds about 1 inch deep in full sun.
- Allow 6 inches between each pea seed. Keep an eye on your seeds for a few days - if they wash out of the soil, poke them back in with a pen, twig, etc.
When to harvest:
- Grab the vine with one hand and pick the peas off with the other hand to avoid damaging the vines.
- Harvest when the peas are tender and the pods are developed.
*The more peas you pick, the more peas the plant will produce!
