Winter Peas

Winter peas are great for sprouting! The tender young “shoots” create a delicious and nutritional snack. Pea shoots have a concentrated amount of nutrients. Since winter peas are a legume, they fix high levels of nitrogen that improve soil fertility. We like to grow our winter peas with mustard, as it allows the peas to trellis up the mustard. This symbiotic relationship is a win-win for the health of the soil and the plant.
