Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Charmette Petit Pois peas thrive in cool, mild weather and rich, well-draining soil. To encourage vigorous growth, support the vines with a short trellis or netting. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds for best results.
When to Grow
Plant Charmette Petit Pois seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, 4-6 weeks ahead of last frost date, or sow in late summer for a fall harvest. In regions with mild winters, a fall sowing may overwinter for an early spring crop. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds directly into the garden bed at a depth of 1 to 1.5 inches. Space seeds 4 inches apart in rows about 18 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting, and keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
How to Grow
Provide a light support structure to keep vines off the ground. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod formation. Fertilization is usually unnecessary if peas are rotated properly within your garden beds. Harvest pods when they are plump and bright green for the sweetest flavor.
How to Save
- Allow several pods to dry fully on the plant until brown and crisp.
- Harvest dried pods and shell seeds carefully.
- Spread seeds out in a well-ventilated area to dry completely.
- Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
- Label clearly with variety name and year harvested.
