Sowing and Growing Guide

Kelvedon Wonder Pea

Indoor Sowing

  • Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date in your area.
  • Use seed trays or pots filled with seed starting mix.
  • Sow seeds 1 inch deep, 2-3 seeds per cell.
  • Keep the soil moist and at a consistent temperature of 60-65°F.
  • Seedlings should emerge in 7-10 days.
  • Once the seedlings have developed their first true leaves, thin them to one per cell.
  • Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over the course of a week.

Outdoor Sowing

  • Sow seeds directly into the garden in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked.
  • Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
  • Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
  • Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist.
  • Once the seedlings have developed their first true leaves, thin them to 3-4 inches apart.

Growing

  • Kelvedon Wonder peas prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
  • Fertilize once a month with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Support plants with a trellis or other structure to keep them from falling over.
  • Protect young seedlings from birds by covering them with netting or floating row covers.
  • Harvest peas when the pods are plump and before they become too mature and tough.
  • Regularly harvest the pods to encourage the plants to continue producing.
