Sugar Pea - Carouby - Wholesome snacking harvest, reliable yields - Fresh Seeds

Sugar pea Carouby is a standout variety with long, richly green pods that can be eaten whole straight from the plant, with no need to shell them. The skin is tender and the texture is crisp, making the pods perfect for eating raw as a snack, as well as for steaming, braising, or quickly frying. Plants grow to around 150 cm, so they need supports to climb. Carouby is valued for its dependable performance, high yields, and excellent flavour, and seed packs are available from GardenSeedsMarket.

Sowing depth

Sow Carouby sugar pea seeds at a depth of 4 to 5 cm. This depth helps provide stable conditions, good moisture, and even germination. After sowing, gently firm the soil to improve contact between the seeds and the soil, which can speed up sprouting.

Outdoor sowing time

Sow directly outdoors from March to April, when the soil is slightly warmed but still well supplied with moisture. This variety tolerates cooler conditions, so it can be sown early.

Spacing

Keep 30 to 40 cm between rows, and place seeds 3 to 4 cm apart within the row. This spacing gives plants enough room to grow and ensures good access to light, helping the pods develop well and the harvest stay plentiful. Provide supports or netting for the plants to climb.

Harvest time

Harvest Carouby sugar peas in June and July. Pick the pods when they have reached full size, while the peas inside are still tender and sweet. At this stage they have the best flavour and crunch. Regular picking every few days encourages the plants to produce more pods.

Growing advice

Carouby sugar peas grow best in fertile, humus rich soil that stays moderately moist. They prefer neutral to slightly acidic conditions and a well sunlit position. This variety is not demanding and works well in a home garden, under cover, or even in a large planter. It is a good option for anyone who wants crisp, home grown pods without needing lots of growing experience.
