In Early English pea is called pease This was shortened to pea later due to people incorrectly confusing the 'se' ending in pease as a plural USES: They can be used fresh, canned or frozen, Stir fry with young pods Sowing instructions: Sow seed in spring as soon as you can work the soil - as early as late March or early April depending on how quickly the soil warms and dries. Use raised beds if your soil is slow to drain. Plant seeds 1 to 2 inches deep, 1 to 4 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart. Or sow about 1 inch apart for square foot gardens, (about 25 seeds per foot). Shallow planting is best when soils are cool and wet. Plant deeper if soil is dry. Do not thin. Garden Hints: Intercrop peas with fast-growing cool-season crops such as spinach or radishes. After final harvest, follow with late squash plantings or fall-harvested cool-season crops such as broccoli, leeks or potatoes. Do not use high-nitrogen fertilizers. Too much nitrogen will result in lush foliage but poor flowering and fruiting For the biggest yields grow plants in raised composted beds. Water regularly. =====Seed is a live perishable product =All sales are Final Research if needed prior to purchase -Its up to you to AVOID disappointments and misunderstandings by reading the listing - provided growing instructions/label and germination time frame/ seeds DO NOT germinate in a few days or sometimes even weeks and may not be at the same time- this is normal in nature--- If you have questions or need help PLEASE ASK Terms and conditions --- PLEASE READ: Orders over $10 from will be shipped with tracking, Orders Under $10 will be shipped by the least expensive USPS way/ economy standard or first class WITHOUT TRACKING --- BE SURE correct shipping information/addresses are provided---we will not resend due to incorrect address.
