Growing tips

Your peas need a sunny location with well-drained but rich soil. Ideally, the soil should be dug up and fertilized in autumn before sowing. However, if you have good garden soil, a thin layer of good garden soil just before sowing is sufficient. Cascadia is a variety that is best sown in spring. The best results are achieved when the soil has warmed up, usually from mid-March to June, depending on where you live. Covering the sowing area in early spring helps to warm the soil and allows you to sow a few weeks earlier. Peas grow quickly and the plants will not bear fruit all season, so it is best to sow every 4 weeks. Sowing peas very early provides protection from the weather and from mice looking for food - pea seeds are very popular! Direct sowing: For best results, sow pea seeds directly into the growing position. Sow the seeds in a single row 5 cm apart and make sure there is enough space for plant supports. Make a single V-shaped sowing 5 cm deep, water the bottom of the sowing and sow the peas. A second row can be added as long as it is 30 cm away from the first sowing. Fill up the seed and water the peas well after sowing. Then, except in very dry weather, leave them until flowering, when they should be well watered to encourage good pod formation. Keep them weed free until they are well established.
