🫛 Peas

Pisum sativum

Peas like it cool: sow early, from February to May, to harvest before the summer heat. Round-seeded varieties take the earliest sowings.

When to sow peas?

Direct sowing outdoors is done from February to May.

When to harvest peas?

Harvest peas from June to August.

The tips that matter

  • Put the netting or pea sticks in at sowing time — doing it later damages the roots.
  • Pick in the morning when pods are green and plump: peas picked warm lose their sweetness.
  • Skip nitrogen fertiliser: like all legumes, peas make their own.
