Having put this culture at itself on kitchen garden, you improve this allotment, will be able to regale on sweet peas and to keep part of harvest for the winter, having made preparations.
Instruction
1. Seeds of green peas cost not much. You will be able well to save if pay attention not to the colourful laminated packages of photos, and to ordinary-looking black-and-white packing. The quality of seeds identical, but the second option is 2-4 times cheaper.
2. If neighbors last year had excellent harvest of peas, they have given you seeds, dry them, and next year you will have the excellent sowing material adapted to your environment.
3. The soil under this culture has to be vozdukho- and moisture-permeable. On heavy clayey grounds the shoots will grow weak and ordinary-looking. It is necessary to bring sand or peat and humus one week prior to landing in such soil. If you have, on the contrary, sandstone or the peat bog, at the bed device under green peas put layer of clay 7 cm thick. It will detain nutrients, water, without allowing them to leave quickly deep into. From above fill the cespitose earth, sand and peat in the ratio 3:1:1.
4. In week when the earth sinks, start landing. In 10 hours pour seeds into the gauze cloth put in half before. Place it in capacity, on two thirds fill in with water. Let seeds bulk up.
5. After this time spill bed water, make holes of 3-4 cm in depth at distance of 15 cm from each other. Put peas through each 5 cm. It is possible to act simpler. Put on rubber gloves, spread wide fingers and stick them into the earth. For once you will make 10 deepenings. Put peas, cover them with earth.
6. If sprouts have ascended often, thin out them, but it is better to put with stock as part of seeds can not sprout. Care for culture is simple. Peas do not demand fertilizing. Only if sprouts pale, then feed up them the mullein solution mixed with water in the ratio 1:12. The plant loves moisture, water it rather often. Sometimes carefully, not to damage roots, you loosen the earth around them.
7. In 10 days after emergence of shoots build support for this climber. Put 4 high sticks on corners, 2 in the middle of bed, a little – on perimeter, wind them at the different levels with rope. Beautifully peas in arch look. Put over it this construction and also reel up on it rope from below to 170 cm in height. Effectively peas and on furring look.
8. Remove pods, without allowing them to become overripe. Use part fresh, do soups, casseroles, salads. Freeze other part, preserve for the winter. Dry the overripe fruits and put them the next year, but already on other place. Crush green material, dig on this bed where peas grew. The next year on this place, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, beet and other vegetables will perfectly feel.
