Pea 'Homesteader'

Homesteader likes a position of partial sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Homesteader is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. Homesteader requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 - 6.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Ensure a distance of 2.97 inches (7.62 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.99 inches (2.54 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Homesteader about 35 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Homesteader is a half hardy plant.
