You may plant peas in the spring after your soil has warmed up & again in late summer. An extremely early maturing bush. They produce a heavy crop of delicious crunchy pods that are really sweet. Eat them pod & all. Strong vines require little or no support reaching 50cm in height. Keep picking your peas to enjoy a longer harvest.
Peas do need good drainage. They grow best in full sun, but in an area where plants receive some shade from the midday sun as the season progresses.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
