Description: General Instructions: Seed Selection: Choose high-quality pea seeds that are free of disease and have a high germination rate. Preparation: Before planting, it’s optional to soak the pea seeds in water for 4 to 8 hours to soften the seed coat and speed up germination. However, peas generally have a high water content and can rot if soaked for too long, so this step can be skipped, especially for seeds treated with fungicides or other chemicals. Soil: Prepare the soil by ensuring it is loose, well-draining, and rich in organic matter. The soil pH should ideally be between 6.0 and 7.0. Planting Depth and Spacing: Plant seeds approximately 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart in rows. Rows should be spaced about 18 to 24 inches apart. Temperature: Pea seeds will germinate best when soil temperatures are between 45°F and 75°F (7°C and 24°C). They are cool-season crops, so they can be planted in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during germination. Once the plants are established, water them regularly to maintain even soil moisture. Light: Pea plants prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure they get at least 5-6 hours of sunlight daily. Fertilizing: Peas do not generally require much fertilizer, especially if planted in soil that's been amended with compost. They fix their own nitrogen, so avoid nitrogen-rich fertilizers. Support: As the plants grow, they may need support. Use trellises, stakes, or netting to support climbing varieties. Thinning: If plants are too crowded, thin them to 4-6 inches apart once they have a few sets of leaves. This helps to ensure adequate air circulation and reduces the risk of disease. Harvesting: Pea shoots can be harvested when they are about 2-6 inches tall by cutting the top few inches of growth. The plant will continue to grow and can be harvested 7-10 times. Pests and Diseases: Monitor for pests such as aphids and diseases like powdery mildew. Use appropriate organic or recommended control measures if necessary. Succession Planting: For a continuous harvest, plant new seeds every 2-4 weeks. Remember to check the specific seed packet for any additional instructions or recommendations for the particular variety you are planting, as there might be slight variations in optimal planting conditions.
