Was talking about canes, tied together like an obelisk but put the pointy side in the soil

Assuming all peas are basically the same I would suggest putting them straight into buckets, at least that's what I did about eight weeks ago in an unheated greenhouse and they seem to be doing well.Originally posted by Jason Cartwright View PostTried and Tested...but the results are inconclusive

They can go straight into bucket but if they need support then put that in first otherwise you may damage the roots pushing it in after the peas have germinated and sprouted.Comment

You'll need to tie the canes to something, as thy rock.
If you look close, you'll see the string keeping the canes firm to the pots. When they go out to the back garden the canes will be tied at the top to a fence or similar to stop them blowing over

Different Peas grow to different heights. Your packet should tell you how high, and also when they will crop. They will die back once the weather cools down again in autumn. But that's always assuming it warms up first! You may want to pinch out the growing tip once they reach the top of the canes.
If you LOOOOOOOOVE Peas, like I do, you'll need to grow about an acre of them, as they're so deeeelish to eat raw, that they'll never make it to the kitchen!
