Rohrer Seeds Early Frosty Peas, 2oz Packet, Plants 12ft

Early Frosty

One of these packets plants about 12 feet, and each plant grows to about 24 inches tall. This vegetable takes about 64 days to mature. One of the most popular home garden vegetables, this plant grows best in cool weather. Young pea plants tolerate considerable cold, even light frost; so spring plantings are seldom harmed by cold weather. Shelled out fresh peas have a sweet, delicate flavor. May be frozen, canned, or eaten raw.

When and where to plant

Select a sunny location and plant in very early spring as soon as soil can be worked. Cultivate soil and enrich with vegetable food and organic matter. Continue planting at 2-week intervals until mid-spring. Plant again in late summer for late fall crop. Firm soil over seed.

Care

Provide support for tall growing varieties. Water by soaking soil to reduce danger of disease.

Harvesting

Pick when seeds have enlarged in the pod, while still bright green. Hold vine while picking to avoid tearing it. 

Health Note

A good source of minerals and vitamins A, B1, B2, Niacin and C.
