Planting and care
- Make sure that you have well-drained, humus-rich soil
- Poke in any seeds that wash out
- Be sure, too, that you don t fertilize the soil too much
- Though adding compost or manure to the soil won t hurt, peas don t need heavy doses of fertilizer
- Water sparsely unless the plants are wilting
| Sunlight | Full Sun, Part Sun. |
| Watering | Water deeply once a week. Never allow the soil to dry out totally or you ll drastically reduce pea production. The critical time for watering is when the plants are blossoming and producing pods. When pods are maturing in hot weather, water daily if needed to maintain pod quality. |
| Soil | Well-drained soil. Peas prefer a soil with a pH range of 5.8 to 7.0. |
| Temperature | 40 t0 50 degrees C |
| Fertilizer | Peas are light feeders and don t generally require fertilizer. In fact, too much nitrogen will make the plants develop lush foliage at the expense of pod production and be more susceptible to frost damage. |
