Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent and treat powdery mildew on green peas (Pisum sativum)?

Powdery mildew shows as a white, dusty coating on pea leaves and stems, often starting in dense, humid canopies. Water the soil only at the base and avoid wetting foliage, then improve airflow by using a trellis so plants aren’t sprawling. If it appears, remove badly infected leaves and use a sulfur-based or potassium bicarbonate spray, following the label and reapplying after rainy weather.

How often should I water green peas during the main growing phase?

For Pisum sativum, keep the soil consistently evenly moist from when pods start forming through harvest, usually about 1 inch of water per week total (more in hot spells). Water deeply when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry to the touch, aiming for fewer, thorough soakings rather than daily light sprinkles. Avoid letting the soil swing dry—pea flowers drop and pod set suffers when moisture fluctuates.

What signs tell me my green peas (Pisum sativum) are ready to harvest?

Harvest when pods are full and well-filled but still tender, typically about 60 days from sowing for many plantings. Check the peas through the pod: the peas should be bright green and the skins should feel smooth and firm—not bulging large and starchy. Pick every 1–2 days once production starts to keep plants from converting pods into seed and slowing new flowering.
