GreenlyWhen to plant peas in South Africa: 14 July – 22 March
Peas in South Africa: sow straight into the bed from 14 July to 22 March.
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.
