Hi

Can someone help me?

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.

With a row of twiggy sticks pushed in the ground.

sow at fortnightly intervals, when should I do this, after I have picked
the last pods or well before?

They mean sow some pea seeds every fortnight. Sow on May I, then May
14, May 28, etc.
