FAQs
When is the best time to sow Pea Rondo seeds?
Sow the seeds outdoors once the soil has warmed, ideally between March and June.
How deep should I plant the seeds?
Sow the seeds in flat-bottomed drills at a depth of 4cm.
Do I need to support the plants?
Yes, because the plants grow up to 75cm tall, they require support such as twigs, wire, or netting to stay upright.
How long until I can harvest my peas?
You can typically begin harvesting approximately 14 weeks after the initial sowing.
Are these peas suitable for freezing?
Yes, Pea Rondo is specifically noted for its excellent quality after being frozen.
How do I encourage the plant to produce more peas?
Regular and thorough picking of the pods as soon as they become swollen will encourage the plant to continue producing.
Troubleshooting
Poor germination rates
Ensure soil has warmed sufficiently before sowing and verify that the soil is not overly waterlogged or completely dried out.
Stunted plant growth
Check for soil compaction or competition from weeds; ensure the plants are receiving full sun and adequate water.
Low pod yield
Increase watering frequency during the flowering period and ensure the plants are adequately supported to keep leaves exposed to sunlight.
