    How To Grow

    Sowing and Growing: Begin by sowing Maestro pea seeds directly into the soil in early spring when the ground temperature has reached at least 10 degrees Celsius. Plant the seeds 5 centimeters deep and 5 centimeters apart in rows spaced 30-45 centimeters apart. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season. As the plants grow, provide support such as trellises or stakes to help them climb. Regularly remove weeds and provide a light application of fertilizer to promote healthy growth and abundant yields. Harvest the peas when they are plump and tender for the best flavor.

    Harvesting

    When harvesting Maestro pea pods, choose those that are plump and well-filled but not yet fully matured. Harvesting at this stage ensures optimal flavor and tenderness. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the pods from the vine, taking care not to damage the plant. Once harvested, Maestro peas can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for a few days in a breathable container to maintain freshness.

    Seed Saving

    To save Maestro pea seeds for future planting, allow some pods to fully mature and dry on the vine. Once the pods have turned brown and crisp, carefully remove them from the plant. Shell the peas and spread them out in a single layer to air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area for about two weeks. Once completely dry, store the seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until ready for planting in the following season.
