My peas mature all at once and get too big before I can pick them. Can I plant in succession?
Answer
If you are in a place with cool summers, you can do this with success. However, it your summers are very hot, the late plantings, unfortunately, will catch up to the earlier ones. You might try planting several varieties instead. Check the packages. Varieties like Blue Bantam mature 10 days later than many of the common ones. Pick your peas everyday when they ripen to ensure maximum production.
