Planting Instructions:

– Soil Preparation: Choose a well-drained, loamy soil for planting. Work compost into the soil to improve its fertility and water-holding capacity.

– Planting Time: Little Marvel peas are a cool-season crop. Sow the seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring or in late summer for a fall harvest.

– Sowing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 2 inches apart in rows. Leave about 18-24 inches between rows.

– Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Little Marvel peas prefer even moisture, especially during flowering and pod formation.

– Support: Little Marvel pea plants are compact and do not require trellises or supports.

– Sunlight: Little Marvel peas thrive in full sun, but they can tolerate partial shade.

– Harvesting: Harvest the pods when they are still flat and the peas inside are just beginning to swell. Pick them regularly to enjoy them at their sweetest.
