Culture: Sow as early as ground can be worked for best yields. Minimum soil temperature for pea seed germination: 40 degrees. Optimal range 50-75 degrees. Peas are legumes with moderate fertility requirements. Avoid excess nitrogen: they can fix their own. Use Legume Inoculant at planting. They prefer cool, moist weather and dislike dry heat. All peas produce more when staked; varieties over 2 feet must be supported. Use either Trellis Netting or chicken wire. Install support at planting time to avoid disturbing seedlings. Plant 8-10 seeds/ft on each side of supports in double rows. Set supports for rows 3 feet apart (5 feet if very tall varieties).
