Light and sun exposure

Direct light needs for 3 to 4 hours daily. Then, to the apartment gardeners, try to place the plants in a place with good solar incidence.

Soil for growing peas

The soil is similar to other legumes, drained, fertile but moist. Rich in organic matter and slightly acidic (6 and 6.8 pH). This type of legume does very well in consortium with cereals such as corn, for example.

Irrigation must be constant to keep the soil always moist, also justifying the temperature.

Germinating and planting the pea

Planting can be done by direct seeding, that is, placing the dry grain directly into the soil. It is possible to grow plants with little spacing between them. Try this culture and tell us what you think.

Pea harvest

Harvesting takes between 60 and 80 days. When the pods start to form it is already possible to harvest and eat them in the form of pods and green peas. Because with a little more time (between 65 and 140 days) it is possible to harvest the ideal dry grains for storage.
