When to Sow
Direct seed as soon as soil can be worked in the spring. Seeds will germinate in soil temperatures as low as 40°F, although slowly. When soils are around 60°F, seeds will germinate more quickly. Hot, dry conditions adversely affect quality and yield, so it is advantageous to have the crop mature as early as planting schedules allow. In some regions, you can grow a successful fall crop by planting in late summer.
Harvest
Harvest when pods fill out, but before seeds turn starchy. Regular picking will increase yields.
Storage
Keep pea pods at near freezing temperatures for around a week.
