Tom Thumb Shelling Pea

(Pisum sativum) First introduced in the 1850's, adorable plants reach just 8" in height while producing 2-3" pods, each containing up to four sweet peas.  A fun gardening project for young kids and small enough for several plants to be grown in a medium pot.  50 days to harvest  Approx. 25 seeds per pkt.

CULTURE:  Peas prefer cool weather.  As soon as soil can be worked, plant seeds 2" apart, 1" deep in rows 12" apart.  Plants do not require trellising.  Seeds germinate in 7-10 days.
