Planting and Growing Tips:

• Planting Time: Start planting Colossus Crowder Peas after the last frost, when the soil has warmed to around 65°F (18°C). Peas thrive in the warm spring or early summer months.
• Spacing: Space your seeds about 2-3 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart to ensure healthy growth and plenty of room for the plants to develop.
• Soil: Colossus Crowder Peas do best in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding compost or organic matter to the soil helps improve the yield and ensures a healthy crop.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially when the plants are flowering and producing pods. However, avoid waterlogging, as peas prefer well-drained conditions.
• Support: While Colossus Crowder Peas are typically bushy and self-supporting, providing a light trellis or stakes can help keep the plants upright and prevent damage from heavy winds or rain.

Harvesting:

• Colossus Crowder Peas are ready for harvest in 65 days. The pods start with a green hull that turns brown as they mature. Harvest when the peas inside are fully formed, and the hull has reached a brown color.
• If you're harvesting for fresh eating, pick the peas as green shell peas for a tender, sweet texture. For canning and freezing, allow the peas to mature fully before shelling.

Uses:

• Fresh Eating (Green Shell Peas): Colossus Crowder Peas are perfect for enjoying as fresh green shell peas. They cook up tender and flavorful, making them an excellent side dish or addition to salads and soups.
• Canning & Freezing: This pea is ideal for preserving. Whether you’re canning or freezing, the Colossus Crowder Pea holds its flavor and texture exceptionally well, making it a pantry staple for months to come.
