'Serpette Guilloteaux' Climbing Pea

The green pea seeds are big and soft. Height up to 1.40 m. Excellent yield.
Tip: on the same day, sow early peas and tardy peas to enjoy staggered harvests.


Type of soil: Rich, light and moist.
Sowing time: From February to April-May. From October to November in the West and South-West of France.
Harvest time: From April to August.
Site: Full sun.


Sow directly in the ground:
- Make furrows that are 50cm apart and sow a seed every 2 to 3cm.
- You could also sow them in little groups of 5 to 6 seeds that are spaced 50cm apart.
- Cover lightly with soil and water copiously.


Care:
- Keep the soil moist but not overly wet until the flowers appear, then water more regularly once the pods begin to form.
- You can stake any plants that grow rapidly. This allows you to install a net to protect the crop from being eaten by the birds.
- Harvest the pods as required once the peas are a good size and nice and green.
