Start with fresh seed. These are Oregon Pioneer pea seeds from Territorial Seed Company. |
 |
Seedlings several days old started indoors. Peas do best when started directly in the soil outdoors. |
 |
Flowers appear. Pollen moves down the pistils to fertilize the ovules. |
 |
Seed formation begins. Notice how the pods are beginning to swell. |
 |
Maturing seeds. When saving seeds, typically we leave the pods on the plant well after we would normally pick them for eating. |
 |
Drying in place. Pods turn from green to brown. The longer you can let the pods dry on the plant the better. |
 |
New seed!! |
