And don\u2019t worry, if you haven\u2019t gotten them in the ground yet, there\u2019s still plenty of time. In Britain, most pea varieties can be sown any time from February until the end of June. Since peas take up a bit of space, it\u2019s best to think a bit about just what kind of pea you\u2019d like to eat.<\/p>\n<h2>Mangetout<\/h2>\n<p>Mangetout produce flat pods and are best known for their use in stir-fries. They produce tender, flat pods that are eaten whole. The peas inside are tiny, but that\u2019s all right since the pod itself tastes great (raw and cooked). Just make sure to remove the strings along the edges before eating. Bonus: mangetout also produce the most tender vine tips, which are great added to salads or stir-fries.<\/p>\n<p>Grow Seed offers the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/pea-seeds\/29-oregon-sugar-pod-pea-seeds.html\">Oregon Sugar Pod<\/a> mangetout pea, a dwarf variety that doesn\u2019t need much trellising.<\/p>\n<h2>Snap Peas<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for the sweet, crunchy peas that fill out some, but are still eaten whole, then you\u2019ll be wanting to plant snap peas. Not only do snap peas taste amazing (raw or stir-fried), they actually yield more food per square foot than the other types of peas. A great choice for a garden with limited space (though most varieties will need staking). Like snow peas, most varieties of snap peas also have a string that needs to be removed.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Grow Seeds we offer the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/pea-seeds\/30-sugar-snap-pea-seeds.html\">Sugar Snap<\/a> variety and we guarantee you, you\u2019ll be hard pressed to make it to the kitchen without eating these tasty morsels first.<\/p>\n<h2>Garden Peas\/English Peas<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for sweet peas\u2014peas that are eaten without the pod\u2014you\u2019ll want to plant standard garden peas. These peas are super sweet, can be eaten raw or cooked, but need to be shelled first. (These are the kind you can find in the grocery freezer section.) Just be sure to not let your garden peas get too big\u2014they get pretty starchy if left on the vine too long.<\/p>\n<p>Grow Seeds offers two varieties of garden peas: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/pea-seeds\/31-waverex-pea-seeds.html\">Waverex<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/pea-seeds\/32-douce-provence-pea-seeds.html\">Douce Provence<\/a>. Waverex is an early petite pea that is great for containers. It should be planted in February. Douce Provence is a dwarf pea that is sown March-July for a main crop or October-December for over-wintering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh peas are some of the tastiest treats the garden has to offer and now is the time to plant them.
