They should be planted in the fall months or the late winter months when temperatures are mild and not extremely warm. When temperatures climb above 80°F, the plants will begin to experience stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet peas should be directly sewn in the garden at a planting depth of approximately 1\/2\" deep. Sweet peas can be planted very thick. Place seeds 2-3\" apart along the row or bed you're planting.

Wait until the peas inside the pods are so large that the pods are almost bursting. Not all pods will be ready to harvest at the same time. Start checking the pods a few weeks after they form to see how the peas inside are looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish pea plants can usually be harvested at least 2-3 times before the plants start looking rough. Once harvested, keep the pods in a cool dry place and try to shell them within a couple days of harvesting. The shelled peas can be stored in a bag in the fridge for 1-2 weeks until you're ready to cook or preserve them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lazy Dog Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55847322091688,"sku":"LDF0234","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/2897\/2456\/files\/green-arrow-pea-seed-1080x1080.png?v=1786046125","url":"https:\/\/lazydogfarm.com\/products\/green-arrow-pea-seed","provider":"Lazy Dog Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
