🌱 Germination & Sowing

Direct-sow in suitable drained soil at the recommended local temperature, thinning seedlings to the proper spacing. Use original packet depth, spacing and temperature guidance. Keep soil evenly moist but never saturated while seeds establish.

☀️ Light, Soil & Plant Spacing

Choose full sun and a draining bed; excess nitrogen can lead to leafy growth with fewer pods. Work fully decomposed compost into soil where appropriate and provide draining containers if growing in pots.

💧 Irrigation & Fertiliser

Water established plants at soil level when upper soil starts to dry. Maintain steady moisture during root growth, leaves or flowering, and avoid cycles of waterlogging and severe drying. Feed moderately using a crop-appropriate fertiliser strictly at its label rate if needed.

🌼 Plant Development

Keep beds open and airy, inspect new leaves weekly and avoid damaging shallow roots.

🐛 Pests & Diseases

Look for aphids, bean beetles, leaf miners, powdery mildew and pod borers; remove infested pods and old debris. Improve hygiene, airflow and crop rotation; use approved crop treatments only when needed, following the legal label and pre-harvest intervals.

🧺 Harvest

Pick tender pods or mature peas at the intended stage, with clean hands and tools. Actual maturity depends on variety, season and care. Wash harvested produce before use.
