Sow capuchin peas directly in the open ground from early March to mid-May. Sow in lines or rows 90cm apart, placing 2 peas together in the row with 10cm space between each pair of peas and the next. Make sure that the soil remains sufficiently moist during growth.
Do not use fresh farmyard manure.
Harvest capuchins from May to July. The pods can be harvested fresh or dried.
Tip: protect the crop with nets against bird damage.
For all capuchins, peas and pods, an early cultivation (March/April) yields better results. With a later cultivation from May, this can cause fewer pods and problems with mildew.
