Peas germinate in soil that's between 40 and 85 degrees, and they like at least two months of weather with daily temperatures below 70 degrees, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac Gardener's Companion. That makes this the perfect time for putting your seeds in the ground. Keep the pot outside where it can be monitored for watering and sheltered from wind, direct sunlight and frost. After a month, remove the plant from the pot and set it into its permanent location. Now that it's spring, you might be looking forward to the pleasures of the garden but dreading the work involved.
Some plants tolerate neglect better than others.
Some don't need much grooming, such as dead-heading or pruning. Consult your local nursery to determine which plants are considered low-maintenance for your area, and for specific spots in your garden. Butterflies are free. Although garden plants hail from all corners of the world, they have surprisingly similar soil requirements. Before planting, make sure the soil is well supplied with air, water, and nutrients.
