Find helpful answers about planting green peas, growing healthy vines, and harvesting sweet, tender pods.
Green peas grow best during cool weather. Sow seeds in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in fall in regions with mild winters. Avoid planting during hot weather because high temperatures can reduce flowering and pod production.
Climbing green pea varieties benefit from a trellis, netting, or garden support to keep their vines upright and improve air circulation. Bush varieties generally grow without additional support, although light support can help keep the plants off the ground.
Green peas are ready to harvest when their pods become plump, bright green, and well-filled with peas. Pick them while the pods are still tender and before they become overly mature or lose their sweetness. Regular harvesting can encourage additional pod production.
