About Shelling Pea

Shelling peas (Pisum sativum) are a cool-season vegetable grown as a fall or winter crop in NE Florida (plant October–February). They produce sweet, tender peas inside podded vines that require a trellis and prefer enriched, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Choose heat-tolerant varieties such as 'Wando' for best performance in zone 9b. Starting at $2.29.

Care essentials

Light

Plant shelling peas in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In NE Florida, grow as a cool-season crop from October through February; avoid planting in full summer sun as heat causes rapid decline.

Water

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water 1–1.5 inches per week. Reduce frequency as temperatures warm in spring to prevent root rot, and provide a trellis for the vining stems.

Soil & Fertilizer

Grow in well-drained, loamy soil amended with compost; target pH 5.8–6.3. Apply a balanced starter fertilizer at planting; peas fix nitrogen so avoid excess nitrogen mid-season.
