Early Freezer Pea Seeds
About- Double podded variety producing abundant yields of blunt dark green pods filled with 7-8 medium sized peas. Pods grow in pairs on top of 20 inch tall vines, making them easy to pick. Sugary sweetness and excellent flavor make these idea for fresh use as well as freezing.
When and Where to Plant- Select a sunny location and plant in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Cultivate soil and enrich with vegetable food and organic matter. Continue planting at 2 week intervals until mid-spring. Plant again in late summer for a late fall crop. For better germination firm soil over seed.
Care and Harvest- Grows best in a soil with a pH between 6 and 7, and just a light application of fertilizer. Plants that grow over 24" tall are easier to maintain and pick if they are trellised. Water at ground level to reduce the probability of disease. Pick when seeds have enlarged in the pod and are still bright green. Hold vine while picking to avoid tearing the plant.
