Instructions

Sow Little Marvel Pea seeds in full sun in spring and late summer. Peas will tolerate some frost and are very sensitive to heat. Plant 1 seed every 2". Do not thin. Plants perform best when supported by a trellis. Support 2 rows at the same time by placing a trellis between 2 rows and letting plants grow together. Harvest peas when pods are filled out to encourage production.

Planting Depth: 1.5"

Seed Spacing: Sow your Little Marvel Pea seeds roughly 2" apart in rows.

Suggestions

When harvesting peas, do not jerk pods from vines since rough handling can cause plants to stop producing. It is best to snip clusters of pods from vines with scissors or pruners.
