Pea : Garden : Half Pint (Mini Vegetable)

Vegetable

Description

Pea Half Pint is a real 'Tom Thumb' for container growing on the patio or windowsill, as well as for sowing under cloches in the garden for an extra early crop. Being dwarf, only 30-37cm (12-15in) high and bushy means Pea Half Pint needs no support. Fun to grow in containers as an attractive and edible centerpiece on the dining table.

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds March to June. Sow seeds thinly, 5cm (2in) deep in drills 45cm (18in) apart in rich, well-drained soil, which has been raked to a fine tilth. Alternatively sow this very dwarf variety into containers.

Growing Instructions

Water ground regularly, especially in dry periods.

Aftercare

Water when in flower will improve the cropping. Peas are ready to pick around 14 weeks from sowing date, regular picking will prolong cropping period.
