Grow your own delicious peas with high yielding variety Pea ‘Pacco’, each plant producing a generous crop of pods each filled with up to 10 sweet-tasting peas. Peas are best enjoyed when freshly picked while they have maximum flavour and nutritional value, so having your own supply to hand means you get to enjoy peas at their best. Good resistance to powdery mildew extends the sowing season into July enabling you to sow successively throughout spring and early summer for continuous crops right through to autumn. Easy to grow and quick to crop, peas are a great choice for children to grow. Suitable for growing up climbing supports in raised beds, patio containers or out on the veg patch. Height: 75cm (30”). Spread: 25cm (10”).

Direct sow peas outdoors every 10 days from March to July, once the soil as warmed, for successive crops. Choose a weed-free position on moist, fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Sow pea seed in flat bottomed drills at a distance of 5cm (2”) apart, and 4cm (1 1/2”) deep. Allow a distance of 60cm (24”) between rows.

Support pea plants with twiggy sticks, wire or netting as they grow, and use fine netting to protect pea crops from birds and pea moth damage. When growing peas, regular and thorough watering especially when in flower will improve crop yields. Harvest peas around 14 weeks after sowing when the pods have swollen. Regular picking will encourage further cropping. Good source of vitamins A, C, B1 and folic acid. Peas also contain soluble fibre, useful in removing harmful cholesterol.
