Did you know...
Round Pea seeds, like Pea Meteor, provide nowhere for rain/water to collect and will therefore not rot, hence why it is suitable for sowing in Autumn/Winter. Whereas Pea seeds that are wrinkled, like Pea Onward will harbour rain/water, making them only suitable for sowing in drier months such as spring.
