What grows well with sweet peas?
Companions: Plant sweet peas with sweet alyssum, lobelia, roses, lavender, and catmint.
What to grow after peas?
The most popular vegetable to plant after peas is cucumbers, which often can be trained up the same trellis used by the peas. Indeed, members of the squash family quickly make themselves at home in pea soil, and the same is true of root crops like carrots and parsnips.
Can peas and beans be planted together?
In spring, plant the peas on the north or east side of an upright or A-frame trellis, and then plant pole beans on the opposite side a month or so later, after the peas are at least 8 inches tall. When the weather warms in early summer, the peas will benefit from shade provided by the beans.
Can you plant tomatoes with peas?
Good Tomato Companion Plants
Plants recommended for companion planting with tomatoes include amaranth, asparagus, basil, bean, borage, calendula (pot marigold), carrots, celery, chive, cleome, cosmos, cucumber, garlic, lemon balm, lettuce, marigold, mint, nasturtium, onion, parsley, peas, sage, and squash.
What month do you plant sweet peas?
Sow your sweet peas seeds anytime from October until March, two seeds to a pot. You can sow your sweet pea seeds in March but growing sweet peas over winter will produce stronger, more robust plants. I usually use root trainers – long, thin pots or cardboard loo rolls – to sow my sweet peas into.

- Leeks.

What's the best fertilizer for peas?
Peas grow best in soil with a pH between 6 and 7.5. Use well-rotted manure or compost at planting. Continuous use of high phosphorus fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or 15-30-15, or high rates of manure or manure compost results in phosphorus buildup in the soil.
Do peas need sun or shade?
Peas and Beans
They need some sun (about four to five hours per day) to produce flowers and pods, but they tend to fade out as the temperature warms. Planting them in a cool shady spot will lengthen your growing season. Bush beans are a better choice for shade than pole beans.
Can you plant peas in the same place every year?
Do NOT plant peas in the same place more than once in every four years. Rotate crops. As with other legumes, pea roots will fix nitrogen in the soil, making it available for other plants.
Should you soak peas and beans before planting?
It is a good idea to soak pea seeds before planting. Soaking them for a day prior to planting helps them germinate, though it is not strictly necessary.
What grows faster beans or peas?
When choosing your peas or beans, dwarf or bush varieties will usually produce flowers and pods quicker than climbing peas or runner/pole beans. If you sow some dwarf seeds/seedlings first, you'll enjoy a fast harvest, while the climbing varieties take longer to produce flowers and pods.
