Growing Oregon Sugar Pod Ll Pea
Indoor Sowing: Not Recommended.
Direct Sowing: Autumn, Mid Winter and Early Spring.
- Garden peas are climbing plants and for best productivity and ease of harvest they should be grown on a short trellis.
- Best grown in full sun but can also cope with very light shade.
- Sow pea seeds 2.5cm deep and space seeds 6cm apart to form a vigorous wall of pea plants.
- Plant directly where they are to grow as peas can suffer from transplant shock.
- Water once and don’t water again until the seedlings emerge to reduce the chance of the pea seeds rotting in the soil.
- Germination takes 9 – 14 days.
- Harvest 12 – 14 weeks after sowing.
