Peas

The green pea is a home garden specialty because peas really have the very best sweet flavour and nutrition when they are freshly picked. The days to maturity we state are from a March planting and are about twice as long as those listed in other catalogues because of our long cool spring. Summer planted peas mature much faster. In our rich soils and cool climate the peas that we trellis will also grow taller than listed elsewhere. (Family: Fabaceae)

 
How To Grow Peas
Alderman (Tall Telephone)

Alderman (Tall Telephone)

Exceptional flavour is well worth the 2-2.5m (6-8') tall trellis these need. Huge pods have a long harvest window and are easy to pick and shell for large peas. Check a few to see if they are filled before picking. Not enation-resistant. Matures in 120 days. (open pollinated seeds)

Cascadia

Cascadia

This delicious snap pea was developed just for the West Coast. The vines do not need a trellis but tumble happily about (try putting some twigs in to support them), growing to approximately 0.6m (2") overall. The dark green pods are a nice 9cm (3.5") long and are crunchy, juicy, and sweet. Resistant to the enation virus and powdery mildew. Matures in 90 days. (open pollinated seeds)

Innoculant, Garden Combination

Innoculant, Garden Combination

Treats 2.2kg of peas.

This fine black powder contains beneficial micro-rganisms that attach to roots of legumes such as peas and beans. They create swellings on the roots that make atmospheric nitrogen available to plants for their growth instead of from the soil or purchased nitrogen fertiliser. Wet the seeds in a bowl outside, with 1/4 teaspoon water to 56 grams of seed (3 Tablespoons to 500 grams, 1 cup water to 55lbs seed) and add the inoculant powder. Use the moistened seed within 24 hours. Please keep the inoculant package cool, since it contains a living organism.
