Pea growing info:

    Peas are a super easy cold weather crop that anyone can grow.  Great for containers and those with limited space!  Plant as soon as the ground thaws one inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination.  They prefer nitrogen rich well draining soil and full sun exposure. If the soil holds too much water, it will make the peas suffer. Adding wood ash to the soil will help with pod production. It’s best to grow peas early in the season as they become less sweet and tender as the weather gets hotter. Direct sow about 3-6 inches apart, you can grow them along a fence for built-in trellising. Regardless, they benefit from support of some kind.  Birds love baby pea plants so you can use a row cover until they’re fully established to avoid your plants and pods being stolen.  In cold climates, you can use black plastic as mulch to warm the ground to encourage faster growth. Harvest peas when they hit full size and often, in the morning for the best results with texture.
