{"product_id":"kings-seeds-pea-meteor","title":"Kings Seeds Pea Meteor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis variety of pea is a very dwarf growing type with small but well filled pods. It is early into production from an autumn sowing and it boasts excellent flavour. Meteor pea is the ideal variety for exposed sites and it can grow to a height of 35cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany young people today have never seen a pea-pod and only recognise peas if they come out of a plastic bag! We think this is a sad state of affairs because when grown fresh, peas are a totally different vegetable to those that are frozen. To get the sweetest flavour, peas are best cooked when picked young and cooked within 30 minutes of harvest, before the sugar has turned to starch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere to Sow Meteor Pea Seeds\u003cbr\u003eMarch and April or October and November.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere to Sow\u003cbr\u003ePrepare a flat bottom drill 5cm (2in) deep and 10cm, (4in) wide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat to do next\u003cbr\u003eSpace seeds 5cm (2in) apart throughout the drill allowing 60cm (24in) between the drills, then cover over with soil and gently tamp down with the back of a rake. It is advisable to give some net protection against birds, once seedlings start to grow. As dwarf, plants usually hold each other up and will not require any net support.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaturity\u003cbr\u003eMay to July.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King's Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48688426254578,"sku":"1023393","price":3.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/4605\/7714\/files\/WebsiteImageTemplate-2026-01-25T115903.965.jpg?v=1769342348","url":"https:\/\/www.zoarsark.co.uk\/products\/kings-seeds-pea-meteor","provider":"Zoars Ark Pet Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
