How to Germinate Pea Alaska

How to Germinate Pea Alaska (Pisum sativum)

  • Sow Pea Alaska seeds directly outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. They can tolerate light frost.
  • Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep in well-draining soil, spacing them 2-3 inches apart in rows that are 18-24 inches apart.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 40-75°F (4-24°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 7-14 days.
  • Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting to speed up germination, but this step is optional.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid waterlogging, as peas do not thrive in overly wet conditions.
  • Once seedlings are a few inches tall, provide support such as a trellis or stakes to support climbing growth.

Additional Tips

  • Pea Alaska thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5.
  • Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development, to ensure a healthy harvest, but avoid watering the foliage to prevent disease.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil cool.
  • Harvest peas when the pods are full and bright green, picking them regularly to encourage continuous production.
  • After harvest, cut the plants at the base and leave the roots in the soil to decompose, adding nitrogen back into the soil.
