I have sown the Pea Kelvedon Wonder. How can I support them, as this is the first time I have grown peas. This variety grows to 18 inches (45cm) high so the packet says.
Another question, when should I sow, as it says: For a continuous crop, sow at fortnightly intervals, when should I do this, after I have picked the last pods or well before?
Many thanks in advanced.

This is an extract from my website;
Pea sticks inserted to overlap along either side of the rows is the traditional method, wire mesh secured to canes or stakes is an alternative method, or use proprietary bean/pea plastic netting for particularly tall varieties.
Peas sticks can be substituted with small branches stuck in the soil along the row.
The tendrils will attach themselves to the sticks/twigs and give support to you peas.
As far as repeat sowings are concerned, sow at three to four week intervals.
