Insert twigs and sticks (being careful to avoid the delicate roots), a trellis, or canes with netting wrapped around, into the ground.These can be arranged in a row, or a wigwam arrangement shape. Once peas have germinated, or after you have planted out the peas you started indoors, it’s time to add supports.Fill each hole with water, place a pea seed in, and fill the hole with compost.Use the dibber to make a hole 2-3cm (1-1.5") deep for each pea.If growing in pots, fill the container with compost, so that it is just 1cm (1/2”) below the rim of the container. Prepare the soil with a garden rake, removing weeds and evening out any large clumps of soil.Keep well watered, and prepare to move them outside when they are 12-15cm (4-5”) tall, from April onwards.You might need to limit this to 2 seeds in small pots. Push 3-4 seeds into the compost in each pot, so that they aren’t touching each other. ![]()
