PE31204A (25.0 g 100-125 seeds)

This shorter 61-76 cm (24-30") variety prefers cooler weather and produces heavy yields of slim, 10 cm (4"), dark green pods that contain 8-11 peas of superb quality for fresh eating, freezing, cooking, or canning. Born in pairs, the pods mature about 62-76 days after planting.  Although it is a short bush type, Green Arrow produces heavy yields of dark green pods and would benefit from some support from a pea fence.

Growing Instructions:

 

Direct sow seeds in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late summer for a fall crop. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Sow seeds 2.5cm (1”) deep and 5-10cm (2-4”) apart in rows spaced 45-60cm (18-24”) apart. Provide support for vining varieties. Keep soil moist and cool to promote germination. Seeds should sprout in 7-14 days. Peas prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer before planting and once more halfway through the growing season. Harvest peas when pods are plump and the peas inside are tender. Regular harvesting encourages more production.
