What different types of green peas are there?

With garden peas there is a distinction between two seed types. A type with round, smooth seeds when ripe and a type with crinkled seeds. Crinkle-seeded peas have a higher sugar content and a lower starch content than round peas. Crinkly seeded peas are tastier and much sweeter due to this starch / sugar composition.

When do I sow low peas? How do I grow low bush peas?

Sow peas in the garden from February to May. It is also possible to pre-sow indoors and then transplant out later.

Sow the peas 2-3cm deep in rows with a row distance of about 45cm and 5cm apart. Make sure the soil remains sufficiently moist during growth. Do not use fresh farmyard manure.

Brushwood or netting for support is not necessary for common peas, but it usually makes it easier to pick the pods.
