🫛 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.

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.
