Growing tips

The time of sowing differs depending on the variety. In general, early sowing is preferable, as diseases can occur more often with later sowing. Preplanting about 2 weeks before planting date is also possible, but not urgently necessary. Peas require a trellis, trellises are best for this purpose. They are also good as a precrop because they are harvested early. You should keep a cultivation break of 3-5 years with nightshade and other legumes.
