Thompson & Morgan Petit Pois Pacco Pea Seed Pack

Thompson & Morgan

Pea ‘Pacco’ produces an excellent yield of sweet-tasting, nutritious tender peas which are just as good raw as they are cooked. Pick regularly and you can enjoy a generous crop of peas all summer long, each pod generously offering up to 10 peas. This high-yielding, reliable cropper has good resistance to powdery mildew. Easy to grow and quick to crop, peas like ‘Pacco’ are a great choice for getting children interested in growing their own. Direct sow peas outdoors every 10 days from March to July, once the soil as warmed, for successive crops. Choose a weed-free position on moist, fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Sow pea seed in flat bottomed drills at a distance of 5cm (2”) apart, and 4cm (1 1/2”) deep. Allow a distance of 60cm (24”) between rows. Support pea plants with twiggy sticks, wire or netting as they grow, and use fine netting to protect pea crops from birds and pea moth damage. When growing peas, regular and thorough watering especially when in flower will improve crop yields. Harvest peas around 14 weeks after sowing when the pods have swollen. Regular picking will encourage further cropping. Good source of vitamins A, C, B1 and folic acid. Peas also contain soluble fibre, useful in removing harmful cholesterol.
