Growing and harvesting garden peas at home is a rewarding experience that allows you to enjoy the sweet and tender flavor of freshly picked peas
Choose the right variety: There are several varieties of garden peas available, including shelling peas, snow peas, and snap peas
Consider your preferences and the space available in your garden when selecting the variety
Shelling peas are ideal for those who enjoy removing peas from the pod, while snow peas and snap peas are eaten whole
Prepare the soil: Peas prefer well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. Before planting
Incorporate organic matter, such as compost or aged manure, to improve soil fertility and moisture retention.
Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them according to the recommendations on the seed packet.
If you're growing tall varieties, install trellises or stakes to support the plants as they grow.
