Pea Early Onward Seeds

The pods are dark green, blunt, and straight, measuring about 8 cm in length. Each pod houses 6-8 peas. The plant itself grows to a height of 60cm with a spread of 25cm, boasting a compact and dwarf stature​​.

Freshly harvested, the peas are sweet and full-flavoured, ideal for immediate cooking to retain their natural sweetness. They also freeze well, maintaining their taste for later use​​.

This variety is a high yielder, producing abundant crops. It's tagged as a 'second early' pea, with harvesting commencing in the first week of June, spanning three to four weeks thereafter. The growth period from sowing to harvest ranges between 13 to 14 weeks​​.

It's a dwarf pea variety exhibiting a compact growth habit which requires minimal staking. The plants are short-jointed with vigorous growth characteristics, making them a main crop variety​​.

For optimal growth, fertile, moist but well-drained soil is ideal, with a preference for full sun to partial shade exposure​​.

This variety has a fair to good resistance against common pea diseases, although specific details on pest resistance like Pea Moth were not fully disclosed​​.

Sow outdoors from March to June or during autumn, as the plants are winter hardy. It's advisable to water them once a week as soon as flowering begins and pods start forming. While they require minimal staking, supporting them with twiggy sticks or pea netting could be beneficial​​.
