Planting Peas

I've just planted peas a week or two back and they sprung up super quick. I would say it's still not too late to plant peas but that would depend on the climate. I had to wait so long to plant them to be sure that the soil temperature wasn't too cold for the seeds (warmer than 10 C). If the soil is too cold or wet you run the risk of having your seeds rot rather than sprout.

They like soil that drains well so I added a healthy mix of sand to my planter box. Peas can climb up to 2 meters (around 6 feet) so some kind of support is in order. I have dreams of being able to sit on my porch and pick peas straight off the vine for me and my children to enjoy. I've included a video that explains more about planting peas. It's not me but I thought the video was rather good so enjoy! :)
