Peas

Peas are cool weather plants and should be planted as early in the season as possible in order that a crop may be well underway before mid-summer heat. A regular season's supply may be ensured by planting varieties with different dates of maturity. The plants require abundant soil food.

Southern Field Peas
Plant the seed an inch deep and an inch apart in rich, well-drained soil in late spring and every two weeks after that until July 15 in succession. Sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart with the rows 2 to 3 feet apart. A pound of seed sows 100 ft of drill.

English Peas
Plant the seed an inch deep and an inch apart in rich, well-drained soil in early spring and every two weeks after that. Sow it in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart with the rows 2 to 3 feet apart. A pound of seed sows 100 feet.

Edible Pod Peas
Chinese or snow peas can be eaten without shelling. If picked when peas are just beginning to form, they are colorful and tendersweet when stir fried or lightly steamed. Serve with butter or a dash of soy sauce.
