If planting in rows, space rows 45-60 cm (18-24 inches) apart. Water the seeds well after planting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.

Only add extra nitrogen at time of sowing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSupport the peas as they grow, to prevent them from falling over. Install trellises, stakes or other supports when the plants are 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) tall. This will also make harvesting easier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHarvest your Greenfeast Shelling-Dwarf Peas at roughly 60-70 days after planting.
