& Pea Meteor 1 Seed Packet

Pea 'Meteor' produces first early, small but full crops, ready to harvest in the summer months. A neat habit and shows brilliant hardiness in winter. Direct sow peas outdoors from March to June, once the soil as warmed. In mild areas, some hardy, early maturing cultivars may be sown in late autumn for overwintering. Choose a weed-free position on moist, fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Sow pea seed in flat bottomed drills at a distance of 5cm (2") apart, and 4cm (1 1/2") deep. Allow a distance of 75cm (30") between rows. For successional crops, sow peas every 10 days. Support pea plants with twiggy sticks, wire or netting as they grow, and use fine netting to protect pea crops from birds and pea moth damage. When growing peas, regular and thorough watering especially when in flower will improve crop yields. Harvest peas around 14 weeks after sowing when the pods have swollen. Regular picking will encourage further cropping. Ideal For Kitchen Garden Hardiness Hardy Position In Full sun Height Up to 45cm (17.7in) Spread Up to 25cm (9.8in) Supplied as 1 Packet of 250 Seeds.
