Tips to Grow Green Pea

  1. Arrange good quality green pea seeds.
  2. The soil should be evenly moist, but not wet or soggy. Soil must drain well.
  3. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and about 2 inches apart.
  4. We can add compost for better growth.
  5. Harvest peas when the color of fruit is green shiny. Always use two hands when you pick peas. Secure the vine with one hand and pull the peas off with your other hand to avoid damaging the plant.
  6. We can continuously sow new seeds in every 2-4 weeks to get continuous supply.
  7. Setup a base for the plant to spread properly for your balcony or open garden. Our guide will help you doing this setup.
