    When to sow autumn peas?

    Never grown podded peas before so finding it a bit daunting to try growing them through the winter! When should I sow them? Is it best to sow direct into the ground or start them off undercover?

    October/November is the time one sows green peas. Make sure they are the the round ones as they are much hardier than the wrinkled ones, which should be planted in Spring.

      Check your seed packet - it should give sowing times.

        Thank you Tam! I will probably start some off early October and then do another sowing in November.

        The seed packet does not state which month, it just says sow in the autumn! I always check

            I copied a series of sowing/harvesting from Dr Hessayon's book onto here:

              Ollie, you don't have autumn planting on your link? Just autumn harvest.

              The peas are going to have to stand outside all winter, enduring gales & frost. Therefore you don't want them too tall and lanky before winter, or you'll only damage all that top growth: ie don't sow them too early.

              Mine will go in October

                  A lot depends on where you are. Please could you add your location to your profile.
