Naturally these are best planted to the back of the SFG to allow the sunlight to get to your
other, shorter plants.
Plant Care:
Care is fairly straight-forward with peas; simply water and remove any weeds, check for
insect predations (Aphids and Bean Beatles tend to like peas). Harvesting itself is part of
the plant care for this vegetable as it will produce more pods when harvested regularly.
Harvesting:
Pluck the vine regularly using both hands to prevent damaging the stem. This is best done
early morning after the dew had dried off as this is when they are most crisp and flavour-
some.
