Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Harvest peas every few days to enjoy them at their freshest and sweetest.
How to Water
Water regularly during dry spells, providing a thorough watering when the plants start to flower and again when the pods form. Try not to let the soil dry out completely.
How to Plant
Plant peas in full sun in moist but well-draining soil once all risk of frost has passed. Dig in plenty of well-rotted organic matter to help boost the nutrients in the soil and gently position the plants, taking care not to disturb the roots too much. Backfill and firm down gently before watering in well. Leave 7-8cm between plants and 30cm between rows.
