(Best months for growing Peas in Australia - temperate regions)
Peas are best grown in cooler seasons. Peas need some support when growing, tree prunings with lots of small twigs are a cheap and handy source. Or else strings between posts or wire netting. Peas need tying in the early stages, until they start producing tendrils and clinging to the support.
Some pea varieties are called 'dwarf' but to make harvesting easier it is a good idea to support the plants.
Pick pea pods while young and pick them often to keep them producing.
Raw straight from the pod in the garden is best!
Raw in salads.
Steamed lightly.
Small pods can be steamed whole.
