GreenlyWhen to plant peas in Australia: 13 June – 12 April
Peas in Australia: sow straight into the bed from 13 June to 12 April; the window opens earliest in Alice Springs and closes latest in Devonport (10 cities).
Each window starts on the Greenly calendar date and ends on the last day that still leaves the crop’s days to harvest (from its card) before the average first autumn frost, plus six weeks of picking for crops harvested over weeks (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes, pumpkins, watermelons, beans) — our rule; earlier in the window is safer.
