Growing Maple in the Vegetable Garden

Direct sow Maple pea seeds 0.5-1 inch deep in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Space plants 6-9 inches apart in rows 12-24 inches apart. While often grown without support, light trellising helps airflow and ease of harvest.

Harvesting Maple Peas

Harvest pods when fully dry and seeds rattle inside, usually 70-90 days from sowing. Perfect for drying, soups, sprouting, or as livestock feed.

Stories

"Peas have long been a beloved staple in gardens and kitchens around the world. Their tiny green pods offer a burst of fresh sweetness that signals the arrival of spring and early summer. From the moment the seeds are planted into the soft earth, there’s a quiet anticipation as slender shoots emerge, climbing trellises or spilling gently over garden beds. Watching the vines grow day by day, reaching higher with delicate tendrils, brings a sense of calm and connection to the earth. It’s a reminder of how patience and care transform something small into something nourishing. Harvesting peas is a simple joy. Snapping open the pods to reveal the plump, tender peas inside feels like nature’s little gift. Whether eaten fresh, steamed lightly, or added to soups and salads, peas bring a comforting flavor and satisfying texture that’s both humble and nourishing. Many cherish the tradition of growing their own peas, connecting with the seasons and the soil, experiencing firsthand the miracle of growth from seed to plate. For some, peas become the centerpiece of family meals. For others, a quick snack plucked straight from the vine. Their versatility extends beyond the garden too. Preserved by drying or freezing, peas carry their sweet essence through the year. No matter where you come from or how you enjoy them, peas embody the simple pleasures of wholesome food, shared moments, and the timeless cycle of nature’s generosity."
