    Last year, alongside gooseberries and currants, I planted peas. Planted on 4-5 seeds around each bush. As soon as the peas grew, I put the reiki for tying. And when it was time to harvest, I collected as many peas as I had collected from three medium-sized beds.

    Lucky and berry. Gooseberries gave berries the size of an average plum, and a black currant-hardly brought a cherry.
    It turns out that the fact that the nodule bacteria that settle on the roots of peas, excellently absorb atmospheric nitrogen and transfer it to a state accessible to plants.
    After collecting peas all the above-ground green part of it, I minced and buried around bushes and fruit trees to a depth of 8-10 cm. Such focal growth of legumes with the purpose of increasing soil fertility is now considered promising: even visually one can see how the yield is growing.

    To get a good harvest of peas and vegetable beans, I apply watering with ashes (a glass of ashes on a bucket of water) or infusion of weed plants (1: 3). Cut green and ground into the soil I keep in a wet state, in this form it decomposes faster.

    Peas grow well on light neutral soils without stagnation of water. However, for more dense or slightly acidic soils, you can select yielding varieties.
    If the soil on your soil is acidic, first of all, it is necessary to carry out the emptying (follow the instructions of dolomite flour). And do it better in the autumn. Plant those varieties that are tolerant of weakly acidic soils. These include, for example, a sugar pod and sugar candy. They give a high harvest.
    Peas do not like soil with a high level of groundwater. If at you such, make for a pea a beds above and plant dwarf varieties with a superficial root system.

    For example, grade Alpha. Plants reach a height of 50-60 cm and do not require a garter.
    If the soil is poor, sandy, then, on the contrary, choose tall varieties with a powerful root system. Of these, I can name such as Miracle Paddle, Zhegalov 112, Telegraph.

    To get a big harvest, you do not need to plant pea plantations. A fairly small ridge with several bushes.

    Just pinch them as the peas run. First, the central one to stimulate lateral growth. Then the side - to enhance their tillering. Always pinch in dry weather, so as not to provoke the development of rot in the wounds.
    The bushes are compact and literally studded with pods. So that they do not fall under the weight of the crop, they need to be tied to supports.

    And between the peas I sow the mustard. Its neighborhood also positively affects the yield of legumes, as it destroys pathogenic bacteria, repels harmful insects and clogs weeds.

    I fertilize peas twice a season with infusion of Mullein (1 shovel on 10-liter bucket of water), diluted with water 1: 10. Under each bush I pour out 3 l top dressing.

    Peas for the summer can sow 2-3 times, because to grow and mature, he needs only 50-60 days.
    When the plants reach 15 cm, weed the weeds and hill the bushes. If I sow in a row of 2 - I hibernate only from the outside.

    Another prerequisite for rapid growth of peas is loose land. Do not be lazy to loosen it the next day after rain or watering.
    By the way, before the flowering peas, additional watering is not needed, it only slows down the growth, but in the period of ripening of the pods "watering" the bushes are necessary once a week. And for every square meter of the garden I pour out on 2 buckets of water standing in the sun.

    Every year we try to grow peas, but literally a few pods grow - large, beautiful and ... empty. And when the seeds are still poured, they are coarse, savory, tasteless. Tell me, what is the mistake?

      Probably, you plant unsuitable grades. Sugar peas (in contrast to vegetable) forms large, beautiful, sweet spatula without a parchment layer. In food, unripe beans are used completely, together with the flaps, when the pea grows to a diameter of approximately 0,3-0,4 mm.
      The peas of the peeling husk are less beautiful - they are smaller, unsuitable for food due to the presence of a hard parchment layer. But the peas in technical ripeness are tender, sweet and tasty.
      If yield is important to you, consider that it is the lowest for low-growing varieties, and the highest - for tall varieties. However, their growing season is much longer - up to 90 days from the time of emergence of seedlings. Therefore, in the north-west of Russia it is worth growing medium-sized varieties (60-80 cm).
      There is one more nuance: to increase productivity, do not overdo the shoulder blades on the bush. As soon as they begin to dry out and dry out, and the seeds become hard, the plant ceases to grow. It fulfilled its main task - it formed seeds.
      Therefore, if you want longer to get delicious grains or scapula, tear them off on time, without overexposureing.

    Can I dry green peas?

      Of course, you can, and it's not very difficult. Before drying, it should be blanched so that the outer shell is peeling off: pour the peas into a fine-mesh net, put them into the pot with boiling water for a few minutes, then cool immediately, rinsing in cold water, and lower again into boiling water for 1 -2 minutes. After the second blanching peas dry. To do this, sprinkle it in a dark place with a thin layer on the linen, and then dry in the oven at + 70 ° C for a long time, for 12 hours. After drying the peas cool, it is better again in a dark place, and once again completely dry in the oven.
      Dried green peas should look like this: velvety, matte dark green. A kilogram of dried peas is obtained from 4 kg fresh.

    I looked at my neighbor for a good way to tie peas.
    Of the two old wheels from the bicycle, I pulled out the knitting needles and removed the rubber, leaving only the rims. A piece of metal pipe d 25 mm and length 1,5 m dug in the bed (you can use a wooden stalk of suitable length). He put both rims on the pipe, dropping one on the ground, and the second was fastened on the top of the pipe with wire stretches. I connected the rims together with a twine around the whole circumference through the holes for the spokes. Around the lower wheel sowed peas.

    It has long been noticed that in the place of peas any crops grow well. But only recently I found out the reason - it turns out that peas enrich the soil with valuable trace elements, such as phosphorus and nitrogen.
    Even sandy soil or dense clay significantly improve their quality, if several years in a row planted on such a plot of peas. At my dacha I sow it under fruit trees. Pea whips rush up, twisting the branches, but this does not interfere with the growth of trees. On the contrary, their harvest is enhanced by micronutrients that contain peas. In addition, it well retracts the soil, not allowing the weed to grow in the near-trunk circle.
    Improving soil quality in this way, I get in addition a valuable product - green peas. I collect the ripened pods, husk, put the peas in a bag, immediately freeze and cook during the winter, adding to various dishes.

    by the way
    For sowing peas as a siderata on a large area, many seeds are required. But why spend expensive varieties, which will still be chopped earlier than the time to harvest? It is better to take a pack of the cheapest food peas, only whole, not polished. Often such peas do not undergo special treatment and remain "alive". Carry out a germination test and in case of luck use it for seeding on a green fertilizer.

    Vegetable or sowing peas is an excellent siderat. Like other representatives of the legume family, peas have an amazing property to accumulate nitrogen on the roots.
    The roots of the pea are long, penetrating deep into the soil, making it loose and air-permeable. Shredded young stems and leaves, embedded in the ground, quickly decompose. All this significantly increases the fertility of the soil. True, for a proper result, peas need to get through most of their life cycle and form a powerful root system and an abundant green mass.
    As siderat, peas are usually sown in early spring, in pure form or in a mixture with cereals and lupine. In the middle of summer, the green mass is mowed and closed into soil for decay, or they are removed and used for pet food. Particularly well is restoring the over-pea mixture of "tired" potato plots.

    The main and most unpleasant pea pest is the pea moth. It is her tracks that we find in the green pods. Pest-covered caterpillars winter in cocoons in the ground and fly out by the time of pea bloom. Therefore, early varieties are less affected. To combat the codling moth, you need a deep autumn digging of the soil, and crop rotation. In the summer, preventive spraying of plants with infusion of garlic, wormwood, tobacco leaves helps. Unfortunately, they do not act on caterpillars already settled in pods.

    In summer cottages, cereal and sugar varieties are most often grown, supplying fresh green peas. Pea bearing fruit is friendly and usually consists of a single wave lasting 1-2 weeks. To stretch the harvest period, it is better to plant several varieties of different ripening dates. You can also sow in several stages. The earliest sowing - with onions, in late April - early May. The latest is at the end of May. Later, sowing even early ripening varieties makes no sense, since with a shortened day, peas will almost not bloom.
    Before planting, pea seeds are soaked in water for 10-12 h. Pop-up peas are culled. The soil during the sowing period should be well hydrated.

    Varieties of peas are divided, depending on the purpose, for softening, cerebral and sugar.
    Hazel cultivars are grown for the sake of ripe fruits with a long shelf life. Dry peas are round, with a smooth surface. Croup of bright yellow or green color, with a large content of starch, so it is well boiled to the state of mashed potatoes. Fresh peas are suitable for freezing and canning, but dryish, sometimes a little bitter. The blades are hard, with a parchment layer.
    Brain grades are specifically derived for obtaining green peas, used in fresh or canned form. In the state of technical ripeness very juicy, they have a pronounced sweet taste, with a gentle consistency they do not boil to mush, they retain a bright green color. Peas in dry form are not large, the surface is covered with furrows and gyruses, like the brain, hence the name of the group of varieties.
    Sugar peas give tender fruits, suitable for freezing and fresh consumption, but are much inferior in size to the pots of brain varieties. But the young blades of sugar peas are very juicy, crunchy, sweet, without a parchment layer. They, like green peas, can be eaten fresh, frozen, canned. These varieties of peas usually have the most tender stems and leaves, so they are good for winter and spring forcing on greens.

    For the cultivation of peas, almost any soil, even slightly saline, is suitable. But it is better that the earth is loose, fertile, fairly humid, but without stagnation of water.
    The site should be sunny, protected from the wind. A little superphosphate and potassium are added to the soil before planting. Nitrogen fertilizers are added in small quantities in the fall on depleted soils. Then no additional nutrition is needed - adult peas will absorb the right amount of nitrogen from the air with the help of bacteria living on its roots.
    Deep spring digging of the soil is not required, just loosen the bed with a plane cutter. On heavy clay soils, peas are sown almost on the surface, deepened by 1-2 cm, on light sands - deeper, 3-4 cm. It is advisable to sprinkle branches on the bed or cover with lutrasil to protect seedlings from birds.
    Long soft stalks of peas require mandatory vertical support. If the lashes remain lying on the ground - a decent harvest can not be expected. Even undersized varieties need 8 supports. If there are none, the plants will cling to each other with antennae, weave into a single mass and, unable to bear the weight, will fall.
    For tall varieties, thin poles are stuck in the bed, between which a large net is drawn or twine is stretched. To a small one you can simply sow a few oats or corn, their stems will serve as a support for the weaves.

    With modern cooking, peas are thoroughly forgotten: only green peas in Olivier and pea soup with smoked products can be recalled immediately. However, less than 100 years ago, the king of peas really dominated both the peasant table and monastic meals. Skillful cooks made porridge from dry peas, grated peas (mashed potatoes) with all sorts of dressings, made pastries from pea flour, pancakes, jelly and many other dishes. Especially popular were the dishes of peas in winter and during fasting.
    Allowed fast foods are made up primarily of carbohydrates. Peas, like other legumes, contain a large amount of protein - up to 20%. So a bowl of good pea porridge corresponds in nutritional value to a portion of pasta with a piece of meat. There is little fat in peas, only 2%, which makes its calorie content moderate.
    In addition, the pea grain contains vitamins B and PP, responsible for the normal operation of the nervous and vascular systems, essential amino acids, trace elements.
    Nowadays, green peas are often consumed - soft and unripe peas (beans). Fresh they are not stored for long, so peas canned or frozen. Green peas contain more vitamins and sugars, but less protein than fully ripened peas.
    For health food use sprouted peas. It is very useful, nutritious, and at the same time pleasant to taste.

    Peas are edible and tasty not only beans - peas.
    Young immature pods are tender and have a sweetish taste. However, in grain varieties, pods from within are lined with a dense film, similar to parchment. For the sake of flat young pods (on the scapula), so-called sugar varieties of peas are grown. From young pods with embryos they prepare salads, vegetable side dishes, they can be eaten raw.
    In composition pea blades are close to green peas, they also contain up to 18% protein, vitamins A and C.
    And, finally, the young greenery of pea shoots is edible and useful. By taste and composition, it is close to a leaf salad and other green crops.

      To get the maximum yield of green peas, many overdo the beans on the plant, and during this time valuable amino acids and sugars turn into starch. Therefore, to collect sweet peas with high content of valuable amino acids, harvest harvest in the earliest time - after 12-15 days after the end of flowering, when the pea reaches a diameter of 5 mm. Remove the pods first in a day, later - in 2-3 days. To preserve the pods, tear off early in the morning or in the evening - the peas collected on the dew are well shredded.
      One of the most dangerous pests of peas is a pea tortillo, or moth, which lays eggs on flowering peas, and hatched caterpillars, white with dark dots, bite into pods and eat juicy seeds. Insecticides are effective against the pest, but I would advise applying them only on the seed beds. Peas, which are going to be used for food, it is better to sprinkle with infusion of wormwood, tobacco, onion, burdock or celandine. By the way, my experience shows that the June (and also early spring) crops of early-ripening peas are not damaged by a pest.

    In the "home garden" you can grow not only the habitual greens, but also something more serious. I, for example, plant the children's favorite peas.
    For home growing, it is better to select low-growing varieties with a maturity of about 50 days. In my experience, the ideal varieties for the balcony are Early Gribovsky and Alpha. Both give small compact bushes and are characterized by high productivity.
    I sow peas in boxes in a row. On the sides I build supports from bamboo skewers. I put a claydite layer about 5 cm thick on the bottom of the box, pour a mixture of turf land with sawdust and peat in a ratio of 2: 1: 1 on top. I’m buying sawdust in pet stores -
    there they are sold as a filler for rodent cells.
    I plant pre-germinated seeds in early May. After the appearance of these leaves, the soil is mulched with the same sawdust. Weeds on the balcony do not grow, so it's easy and simple to take care of homemade peas: I direct growth, periodically water and loosen the ground. During flowering, I feed organic fertilizers, which are sold in abundance in flower shops.
    Keep in mind that peas are a photophilous plant, so if you are planning to grow it at home, be sure to choose the south side. Otherwise, you won’t get a good harvest.

    Collecting peas, in some pods found worms, although a healthy pea was selected for planting. What to do for the future so that there are no pests?

      Vintage peas often spoil the pea seed. She lays eggs in flower buds, and the newly hatched larvae find themselves in pods, where they begin to feed and grow. To protect the crop of peas, you need to spray the plants with any permitted insecticide, similar in its effect to the drug Fitoverm. Processing should be in the period when the grains are most active, that is, immediately after the appearance of buds on pea. One spraying is usually not enough, it is advisable to do it again after 18-20 days.

    Peas-shooting quickly ripe!
    In just 1,5 month, you can get a harvest of early ripening peas. I sow it several times until the beginning of August. Just beds after the early vegetables are released!
    Landing.
    Peas are sown in 2 series, between which I leave the distance 50 cm. Between the plants I leave the "gleam" about 10 cm. In the soil I make grooves, fall asleep superphosphate (5 g per 1 sq. M.), I cover the top with soil and sow seeds. Then I water the ridge.
    Fertilizers.
    Peas well perceive both organic and mineral fertilizing (but at the same time both should not be added). I put on 1 sq. m 2 kg of compost and 1 cup of wood ash. In addition to organics, you can feed 30 g of superphosphate and 12 g of potassium chloride a little later. I feed twice during watering - 2 weeks after planting, then another 2 weeks later.
    Care of the soil. I loosen to a depth of 10-15 cm before watering. Hilling or mulching peas is not needed.
    Watering.
    I water the bed abundantly once a week, and in the dry period - 1 times.
    Harvesting. I remove the early ripe peas when the peas inside the pod become firm and firmly pressed against each other, and the shoulder blade has a uniform color, without interspersed with yellowness. I do this in the morning, while the dew is standing - so the peas lie longer without wilting.

    Peas are the best neighbor
    Peas get along well with tomatoes and can grow in rows between plantings of this crop and even in rows if it does not obscure their neighbors. At the same time, it protects the soil from drying out, feeds it with nitrogen. A skilled gardener receives such a crop from this plant that it suffices both in summer for fresh food and for winter in canned food. I prefer four varieties of peas of different ripening periods - Vegetable miracle. Alpha, Country and Vega. The Country and Vegetable miracle has “mustached” bushes that are resistant to lodging. The length of the scapula is 9-11 cm, each of 9-10 peas. But Vega can form shoulder blades up to 29 cm long, chock-full of large peas. Harvest time - upon reaching milk ripeness, when young green peas gain a lot of sugar and have a delicate taste. We begin to sow peas in early April and finish in May. Plants of early sowing yields yield at the beginning of June.
