Winter pea

It’s all in the name: this pea can handle the cold. The young shoots are delicious and can be harvested soon after sowing. The flowers are also edible.

If you let the plants grow, you get delicious peas. Sow them in the fall to harvest winter shoots. Let the seeds germinate indoors first so the roots get a head start. Then plant them in your garden box.

What's so special about our winter peas?

This is one of the only pea varieties you can grow so early in the year. 
 
You grow winter peas not just for the peas, but for the young shoots. You can harvest them in no time and they’re delicious. 

Sowing and growing winter peas

Before you sow the peas in your garden box, you first pre-sprout them indoors. This gives them a head start: the plants will grow better if the seeds have already produced a root.

Growing them is easy. Just protect the young plants and small seedlings from birds: they love them - especially in early spring.

Harvest the pods when they’re nice and thick. Sow again in October to harvest the young shoots in winter or early spring.

Step-by-step sowing and growing instructions are in the Planty Garden app.

What do you use winter peas for?

The young shoots are delicious in a salad or stir fry. To harvest the shoots, cut a little off the top of the young plants. (The plants will keep growing and produce more shoots.) 
 
For the peas themselves, let the plants flower. Then harvest the ripe pods. Eat the peas briefly boiled or stewed. Or throw them in salads, stir fries, or scrambled eggs with salmon: delicious!
