Planting peas
Today I took advantage of the great weather and the good position of the moon to plant some beds of peas.
Over the weekend @outlinez and I prepared the beds and today the peas just had to be planted.
We chose two varieties of peas.
One is called Avola - which is a high-yielding early variety whose plants reach a height of 65-70 cm. Its pods are 12 cm long and each one contains 8-9 grains. The vegetation period is 59 days.
The second variety we chose is Television.
It is for late harvest with a growing season of 45-75 days.
Its plants reach a height of up to 80 cm, and the grains are wrinkled and have a sweet taste. Its pods are 11-13 cm long and each one contains 8-9 grains.
I read the information about the two varieties of peas from the packaging of the manufacturer - Opal Z. I will be watching the growth of the plants with great interest.
This is really interesting! I cannot recall ever seeing a colourful pink pea in South East Asia before. 🤔
Are the pods the same colour as the pea?
Hello @littlenewthings. The peas are green. Some seed producers treat them to protect them from various diseases and fungal infections and to increase their germination. These pink seeds are treated in this way. As a matter of fact, nowhere on the package does it say that the seeds are processed. I only found out about it when I opened the package 🙂.
