Sowing and care
Sow peas from March to May at a depth of 3-5 cm. Earth up the young plants once they are about 10 cm tall to stabilise them and provide twiggy sticks as climbing support. The young pods can be harvested from June onwards. Legume seeds often germinate better if soaked in water for a few hours before sowing.

Pflegeleicht & ertragreich
Keimt nicht ganz zuverlässig, ist jedoch sehr ertragreich und kann über einen längeren Zeitraum alle paar Tage geerntet werden. Höhere Kletterhilfe (ca. 1,20 m) empfehlenswert. Wächst hoch hinaus und die Ernte gestaltet sich auch leichter ;-) Die Blüten sind sehr beliebt bei Holzbienen.
