Growing Guide

• Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Add compost before planting for best results. Maintain even moisture but avoid waterlogging.
• Support: Provide trellises or netting as peas and climbing beans need support as they grow upwards.
• Harvest: Pick pods regularly once mature to encourage continued cropping throughout summer.

Caring for Your Crop

• Pest Management: Keep an eye out for aphids and slugs; use organic deterrents where possible.
• No Pruning Required: Simply remove spent plants at season’s end to enrich your compost pile.
• Nitrogen Fixers: Beans and peas improve soil health by naturally fixing nitrogen—great for crop rotation schemes!
