Pea Karina Organic

This dwarf shell pea is 24-30” in height. An early maturing variety. 4-6” pods offer 6-8 peas when shelled. Sweet and juicy with good heat tolerance. Great for containers.START SEEDS OUTDOORSIn early to mid-spring. plant peas in full sun in well-worked. fertile soil. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 3 to 4 inches apart in wide rows or bands 3 inches across. spacing the rows 2 feet apart. Provide supports for these climbing 5-6 foot vines at planting time. Protect from marauding birds with netting or floating row covers if necessary. Cold and wet early spring weather may affect germination. so if first sowing doesn't germinate evenly. replant right away as new seedlings catch up quickly. Sow again for a fall crop about 2½ months before first expected fall frost.GROWING NOTESThese are hypertendril peas. meaning that the vines will produce long twirling tendrils in place of some leaves. This trait helps increase air flow so there is less disease potential. Use netting or wire trellis t
