Pea Shelling Wando (Heirloom)Pisum sativum
Days to maturity: 68. Introduced in 1943, Wando is a cross between Laxton's Progress (an English pea) and Perfection (a New England heirloom). It is cold tolerant for early sowing, and more heat tolerant than other pea varieties. 18" - 30" plants with 7 - 8 medium sized peas in each pod. Sow in early spring and again in midsummer. In zones 9 to 11, it can even be sown in fall for winter harvest.
This packet plants two 7 foot rows.
Days to Emerge: 5 - 10
Seed Depth: 1"
Seed Spacing: 2"
Row Spacing: 18"
Thinning: Do not thin
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as soil can be worked. soil temperatures must be above 40° F. in USDA zones 8 or warmer, sow in fall or winter for winter harvest.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Special germination instructions: soak seed in water for 12 - 24 hours before sowing.
Harvesting: Shelling peas should be harvested when the pods are plump, about 3 weeks after flowering. Peas that are too mature are tough, and will cause the plant to stop producing; therefore, harvest regularly when pods are at their peak. Use scissors to harvest or hold vine with one hand and pick pod with the other to avoid breaking the brittle vines.
