Green Arrow Shelling Peas: Sweet, Productive, and Versatile

Discover the Green Arrow Advantage
Green Arrow Shelling Peas are a classic heirloom variety renowned for their exceptional productivity and flavor. With a maturation time of 68–70 days, these compact plants yield 4–5” pods packed with up to 11 vibrant green peas each. Originating from England, this gourmet pea has been a favorite for generations due to its sweet taste and versatility in fresh eating, freezing, or canning. Resistant to common diseases like fusarium wilt and powdery mildew, Green Arrow peas are a reliable choice for gardeners seeking high yields and easy harvesting.

Why Choose Green Arrow Shelling Peas?

• Flavorful and Versatile: These peas are buttery and sweet, making them ideal for fresh snacking, freezing, or preserving.
• Compact Yet Productive: Despite their modest height of 24–30 inches, these plants produce abundant pods in pairs atop the vines for effortless picking.
• Disease Resistance: Built-in tolerance to fusarium wilt and powdery mildew ensures healthy crops with minimal maintenance.
• Heirloom Quality: As an English staple, Green Arrow peas bring a touch of history and tradition to your garden.

Growing Details
Green Arrow Shelling Peas thrive in cool seasons, making them perfect for spring or fall planting. Their vining habit benefits from trellising for maximum yields. Direct sow seeds in well-drained soil when temperatures reach at least 40°F. Space plants 18 inches apart to allow airflow and optimal growth. Regular harvesting ensures pods remain tender and encourages continuous production.

Growing Success Tips:

• Plant seeds directly outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring or late summer for fall crops.
• Provide trellising or support to maximize yield and simplify harvesting.
• Keep soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Harvest pods when plump but before they become overly mature for peak flavor.

For best results, sow seeds in debris-free soil enriched with organic matter.
