Strike Pea

$2.50

You are going to smile harvesting this classic English shelling pea. A super early, huge producer so sturdy it doesn’t need a trellis- it’s almost too perfect.

JOY MAX QUALITIES:

  • This pea is more bushy and compact than other peas you’ve probably grown. It doesn’t need trellising but it will appreciate a little staking.

  • You can plant Strike much earlier than other peas as it does well in cold, clay soil.

  • Prolific shelling peas mature just 55 days after planting and have 6-7 plump dark green peas per pod.

  • High resistance to Fusarium wilt race 1. These seeds have also been treated to be less susceptible to rotting in prolonged cold, wet weather.

  • You can eat the flowers and tendrils from peas. Add the fresh young shoots to salads and stir frys.

Planting Information: Start indoors under bright light 8-10 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds 1/4” deep., 2-3 seeds per cell or pot, and then thin to the healthiest seedling once they are an inch tall. Use a heat mat to speed germination. It’s best to start peppers indoors because, unlike tomatoes, you shouldn’t plant them outside until nighttime temps are above 60°F (15°C). You need a soil temp of 65°-80°F for best results.
