This is a very bearing early shelling pea that bears large crops on shorter plants. Pods hold 6-7 plump peas, vines grow 20" tall. Plant shelling peas in full sun, in soil amended with plenty of compost. If your soil is acidic, add ground dolomitic limestone to raise the pH. Peas require a fertilizer high in phosphate and potash.
Plant each cluster of 2-3 seedlings 6 inches apart. Shelling peas will grow and produce best when grown on a vertical trellis. Keep peas well watered and weeded. Peas will benefit from mulching around the roots in order to help keep them cool and wet.
Pick them when the peas are fully filled out in the pod. Open up the pods and pop out the peas. Regular harvesting will keep plants producing for a long time. If not picked regularly, pea plants will stop producing. They also stop producing as soon as the weather gets hot.
