FAQs
Do I need to remove the strings from Delikett peas?
No, this variety is specifically bred to be stringless, meaning they require virtually no preparation.
When is the best time to harvest?
You can harvest Delikett peas from May through August, as soon as the pods are plump and full.
Can I grow these in containers?
Yes, provided you use a large container and provide a sturdy trellis for the vines to climb.
Are the pods edible whole?
Yes, both the seeds and the pod are intended to be eaten together.
How often should I water my pea plants?
Water deeply whenever the top inch of soil feels dry, focusing on keeping the roots moist but not waterlogged.
Troubleshooting
Pods are tough or stringy
Ensure consistent watering; pods left on the vine too long or stressed by drought may lose their stringless texture.
Slow growth or poor yields
Check soil fertility and ensure the plants are receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Plants falling over
Ensure the support structure is secure and vines are properly tied or guided to the trellis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Delikett crop, sow seeds directly into prepared soil in early spring once the risk of frost has passed. Ensure each seed is spaced appropriately to allow for airflow. As the vines grow, gently guide the tendrils toward your chosen support structure.
For care, maintain soil moisture throughout the growth phase, especially during the flowering and pod-development stages. Avoid water-logging the roots. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture during the hotter months of July and August. Monitor for common garden pests regularly, and harvest the peas frequently to encourage the plant to continue producing new pods throughout the season.
