Start your kitchen garden journey with Thompson and Morgan Meteor Pea Seeds, known for their early, compact crops and dependable hardiness through winter. You'll find sowing is simple from March to June, with the option to try late autumn planting for an even earlier harvest. Growing just up to 45cm tall and spreading to 25cm, these peas fit neatly into most garden spaces and thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Each packet contains 250 seeds, giving you plenty for successional sowing and a continuous supply of sweet, tender peas all summer. Regular watering and picking will encourage even more pods, making 'Meteor' a rewarding choice for both beginners and seasoned gardeners. Direct sow peas outdoors from March to June, once the soil has warmed. In mild areas, some hardy, early maturing cultivars may be sown in late autumn for overwintering. 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 five centimetres apart, and four centimetres deep. Allow a distance of 75cm between rows. For successional crops, sow peas every ten days. 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. Ideal for kitchen gardens. Hardiness: Hardy. Position: In Full sun. Height: Up to 45cm. Spread: Up to 25cm.
