Garden Tip
Plan to Grow Peas
Edible peas yield well on the High Plains.
They are available in several forms: bushy (suitable for pots),
vining (you'll need a trellis up to 7' high),
shelling peas (only eat the pod inside), edible pod sugar snap
peas (the pea and pod are sweet tender eating) and snow peas
(the flat pea pod, common in Chinese food).
Peas are best planted in this country around
mid-April through early May. They need rich soil in a well-lit
site. Don't grow them up against a hot fence or wall. Start your
pea seeds in a moist paper towel. Roll the paper towel up and
place in plastic bag for 3 to 5 days prior to planting. Gently
set the sprouting seeds 1/2 inch deep into the soil and lightly
backfill the seed. After planting, keep them moist. Provide a
trellis for vining peas where needed.
