Sweet peas like cool weather and can be grown anywhere as long as you have composted soil. Peas can be grown in spring and fall. Plant the seeds every 3 to 4 weeks for a continuous harvest. Plant your seeds outdoors in the ground. Spring planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked, and fall planting should be done in August, September, and October. Most varieties require stakes, trellises, or other support for the vines to climb. Plants can grow 1 to 6 ft tall.
Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch and grass clippings or straw around the base of the plant.
Keep the soil consistently moist. Water well during dry and hot spells.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro.
Pick the sweet peas regularly to promote the growth of new pods. They should be harvested when the pods are fully rounded.
