Sowing Guidelines

Indoor & Tray Sowing (Recommended for Continuous Harvests):

• Fill a shallow tray or container with 1-2 inches of moistened potting mix.
• Scatter seeds evenly and press them gently into the soil.
• Cover lightly with a thin layer of soil or compost.

Outdoor Sowing (For Garden Beds):

• Direct sow in early spring or fall when temperatures are between 50-70°F (10-21°C).
• Plant seeds ½ inch deep, spaced 1 inch apart in rows 3-4 inches apart.

Germination & Growth

• Seeds typically sprout within 3-7 days.
• Keep soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering.
• Provide good air circulation to prevent mold and mildew.

Harvesting

• Harvest pea shoots when they are 4-6 inches tall (10-21 days after planting).
• Cut shoots just above the soil level using scissors.
• Regrowth is possible for 1-2 additional harvests if the roots remain undisturbed.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.
• Fertilization: Not required if using nutrient-rich soil, but a light compost tea can boost growth.
• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and prevents soil drying out.

Pest & Disease Control

• Common Pests: Aphids, fungus gnats. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
• Common Diseases: Mold or damping-off. Improve airflow and avoid overwatering.
