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 the pods with the other; vines are fragile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Care:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSupporting even short vines (under 3') on a fence or trellis makes harvesting easier. Short-vined peas may also be grown in mounds on the ground with row spacing at 24\"–36\" (mounds are not recommended for tall\/vining types). Roots must stay cool; when temperatures begin to warm, mulch soil surface to keep them cool. Powdery mildew looks like a white powder on leaves, and thrives in weather with high relative humidity and cool nights. Reduce chances of this disease by watering only in the morning and during the day. Keep leaves dry; do not water plants overhead. Provide good air circulation by proper plant spacing. Do not compost diseased plants; spores may over-winter and re-infect crops the following season. Powdery mildew is more common in the fall and choosing a resistant pea variety for fall sowing further reduces the likelihood of infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"section3_tab_1552\" class=\"tab-pane\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop with confidence when you shop at Southern Agriculture.
