Description
- About this item 🌱 CULINARY VEGETABLES such as these are excellent for adding flavor to many dishes. This specific collection is geared toward those who love to flavor their meals with fresh cut vegetables. This heirloom assortment is good to be planted in the current growing season, or in the season to follow. 🌱 SOWING. Peas prefer staying in one place, so choose a sunny, well-drained spot, and don’t transplant them. You can also sow them outside, when the cold season is about to end, when it’s at least 2°C. Make a shallow trench, roughly 20 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep. Sow peas in two parallel lines, spacing the seeds about 10 cm apart. Cover the seeds with soil, and pour a lot of water on — they prefer moist conditions. If you follow these steps, you should see the seedlings in one-two weeks. 🌱 HARVEST. Before the peas mature, install a supportive stick — you should do this around the time when the plant reaches a 5 - 10 cm height. Peas will be ready for harvest 55 to 80 days from sowing. Use one hand to hold the pea vine and the other to pull off the pea pods — this will help preserve the stem. It’s also important to cool the peas after harvesting in a cold water bath to ensure flavor preservation. Young peas will be tastier than older ones, so don’t let them sit around. 🌱 GET CREATIVE IN THE KITCHEN. They’ll stay fresh in the refrigerator unshelled for up to a week. You can freeze them, can them, or even dry them — really, the choice of flavors is only limited by your imagination. Eat as a main, protein-rich dish, or add as a side to other meals. 🌱 CARE & STORING: If storing the seeds, simply make sure that they are kept in a dry, cool and dark location. Placing them in a ziplock bag and pressing out all of the air is a good idea if they are taken out of their original packaging.
