Sowing spring peas | Buckwild Gardens

Hi there! This week I am direct sowing spring peas outside for our 2021 garden. Pea plants take awhile to germinate and they require soil temps of at least 40 degrees, which we have had here pretty much all winter. Now that the days are getting longer, it's time to start sowing seeds! This is the first spring sowing I've made and I'm so excited for the new season.

I also show the results of overwintered autumn sowings of liatris, hollyhock, dill, thyme, and calendula seeds, which spent the past 8 weeks outside in a makeshift low tunnel. These will all be transplanted soon as well!

Peas are “Kelvedon Wonder” & “Carouby de Maussane” from Baker Creek. I don't buy from Baker Creek anymore and recommend getting seeds from companies regionally adapted to your area.
