Sowing Instructions:
To grow Pea Telephone, sow seeds directly into the ground in early spring once the soil is workable and the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, well-drained spot and enrich the soil with organic matter to encourage strong growth. Plant the seeds 3 cm deep and space them about 5 cm apart. Provide support for the climbing vines, such as a trellis or pea netting, to allow the plants to grow upright and make harvesting easier.

These peas typically germinate in 7-14 days and are ready for harvest in 70-90 days. Pea Telephone thrives in well-drained soil and cool temperatures, and will produce abundant pods with a sweet, tender flavour. Harvest the peas when the pods are plump but still tender for the best taste. With its reliable performance and delicious peas, Pea Telephone is an excellent choice for both seasoned and beginner gardeners looking to grow a classic pea variety.
