Peas grow best in cool weather and well-drained, fertile soil. Sow seeds directly and keep soil evenly moist to ensure good germination. Provide support for climbing vines to improve airflow and ease of harvest. Pick pods when they are plump and bright green for the best sweetness and texture, and harvest frequently to encourage continued production.
