Large, fancy pods develop on compact plants that mature quickly at 64 days from sowing. This open-pollinated variety germinates readily between 45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, making it flexible for spring planting across most of the country. Resistance to Fusarium Wilt and Powdery Mildew protects your crop from two common pea pathogens, while the plant's naturally compact growth habit means less staking and fussing than taller varieties. The frost tolerance opens up extended harvest windows in both spring and fall.
PLS 141 peas are grown for fresh shelling, harvested when the pods have enlarged and the peas inside reach full size. Enjoy them freshly shelled raw, lightly steamed, or added to spring soups and stir-fries. The large pod size makes them satisfying to harvest by hand, a task many gardeners find as rewarding as eating the crop itself.

Direct sow PLS 141 as soon as soil is workable in spring, when temperatures are between 45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The variety's frost tolerance means you can sow before the last spring frost. In fall, sow 8 to 10 weeks before your first expected frost to allow time for a full harvest before winter.
Pick peas when they have enlarged noticeably in the pods, indicating the seeds inside have reached mature size. This typically occurs around 64 days from sowing. Harvest regularly by gently pinching or cutting pods from the vine to encourage continued flowering and pod development. Handle vines carefully to avoid damaging the plant.
