When to plant peas in Ireland: 4 February – 15 September

Peas in Ireland: sow straight into the bed from 4 February to 15 September; the window opens earliest in Athlone and closes latest in Galway (11 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.
