How to Grow Green Arrow Peas from Seed

- Optimal Soil Conditions – Prefers cool temperatures (55-75°F) and well-drained, compost-rich soil.
- Planting Depth & Spacing – Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart in rows.
- Support for Healthier Plants – While compact, a low trellis or pea fence can help improve growth.
