PLS 595 shelling pea produces heavy yields of long 11cm (4.5”) pods filled with an average of 11 tasty peas each. Easy to harvest pods are set high up on the upright, 60cm (24") plants that produce afila-type tendrils that are edible as well. Enjoy the sweetest tasting peas when harvested when they just fill the pods.

| Starting |
Soaking seeds is not advised for damp soils. Sow seed 2cm (1″) deep. After April 15th, sow seed 5cm (2″) deep. Space seeds 2-7cm (1-3″) apart in the row. Do not thin. If the seeds fail to sprout, try to dig some up and check for rot or insect damage. The challenge with untreated pea seeds is to give them an early start but to avoid rot. |
| Growing |
Use well-drained soil amended with finished compost. Add 2 cups of rock phosphate or bonemeal for 3m (10′) of row. Plant most varieties along a trellis or fence for support as they climb. Dwarf varieties do not need a trellis, but may benefit from the support of some twigs poked into the soil in the row. |
