If you did not plant green peas for a long time - put, remember taste of the childhood and fill up the organism with reserves of vitamins for the winter. And just like that, it very beautifully looks on kitchen garden. It is possible to put him "tent". To decorate even bed! Peas beautifully also blossom.
Instruction
1. Peas - plant cold-resistant therefore it can be sowed early enough as soon as the soil a little gets warm. It is necessary to sow peas on beds about 30 cm wide. If the earth damp, it is possible even dry seeds. Or to wet them since evening and to put already bulked up.
2. In the middle of bed do groove about 10 cm in depth, water it from watering can without nozzle and display peas on distance of 5 cm from each other. From above fill up with humus (or compost) if it is if it is unavailable - the normal earth. Peas are undemanding to soils.
3. Shoots appear pretty fast. When sprouts reach height of 10-15 cm, carry out the first weeding and you loosen the soil, rowing up it a little to roots. Further all leaving consists only in weeding of grass, but it usually happens a little.
4. To water in dry weather at the beginning of growth, so far backs still small. Further not to water, there is enough moisture from the rains which are expecting to fall in the summer.
5. Peas grow up to 2 m therefore the support is necessary for it. Deliver on both sides of stick row at distance 30-40 cm from each other. When seedlings reach height of 35-40 cm, pull twine between sticks, passing it with one, on the other hand, and plants strongly are kept by it. When they grow up up to 80-100 cm, once again tie up them twine. Soon they blossom, and in few weeks it is already possible to taste the first green peas.
6. From the plants planted in one row on narrow ridge and which are tied up by twine to support it is very convenient to collect pods, it is not even necessary to bend. It is possible to approach bed on both sides, all of them hang outside, and it is easy to break them.
7. One more important advantage of such bed - peas is lit from all directions with the sun, and it belongs to photophilous cultures. Usually peas are planted near fence, but there it lacks light and the productivity falls.
8. If you want fresh green peas to be on your table as long as possible, seed it in several terms. At the end of May, the beginning and the middle of June. In the south it is possible later, and bigger number of times. When all have already much gorged on green peas, begin to pick it for freezing and pickling. Peas pods - the perishable goods and to long storage are not subject. Therefore it is necessary to process them on the same day when have collected, otherwise peas lose the tastes and vitamins, quickly fade.
