🌱 SOWING. Peas prefer staying in one place, so choose a sunny, well-drained spot, and don’t transplant them. You can also sow them outside, when the cold season is about to end, when it’s at least 2°C. Make a shallow trench, roughly 20 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep. Sow peas in two parallel lines, spacing the seeds about 10 cm apart. Cover the seeds with soil, and pour a lot of water on — they prefer moist conditions. If you follow these steps, you should see the seedlings in one-two weeks.

🌱 HARVEST. Before the peas mature, install a supportive stick — you should do this around the time when the plant reaches a 5 - 10 cm height. Peas will be ready for harvest 55 to 80 days from sowing. Use one hand to hold the pea vine and the other to pull off the pea pods — this will help preserve the stem. It’s also important to cool the peas after harvesting in a cold water bath to ensure flavor preservation. Young peas will be tastier than older ones, so don’t let them sit around.

🌱 GET CREATIVE IN THE KITCHEN. They’ll stay fresh in the refrigerator unshelled for up to a week. You can freeze them, can them, or even dry them — really, the choice of flavors is only limited by your imagination. Eat as a main, protein-rich dish, or add as a side to other meals.
