Growing Life Organic

Peas are one of my favorite crops. An easy plant to grow (300 mm of rain in winter and it is satisfied – we have a few bags), enriches the soil, yields generously and provides fresh and healthy fruit not to be obtained simply but frozen or canned. The disadvantage I have found for many years is Locals allow significant area for sowing. How did it come about that I grew about 25 square meters of peas this year? The answer at the end of the scroll …

Peas belong to the legume family, which have a unique property of atmospheric nitrogen fixation, with the help of a day of symbiotic bacteria called rhizome living on their roots. why is it important? In general it can be said that a plant needs four elements in large quantities: carbon (which the plant knows how to extract from the air by activating photosynthesis), nitrogen (which is abundant in the air but not available to plants), potassium and phosphorus. The other elements, also called trace elements, such as magnesium, iron, zinc, etc., need a much lower dose. Therefore, it is customary to fertilize or manure to enrich it with soil foundations, with an emphasis on suffocation. Miraculously, growing legumes enriches the crop and allows the crops to continue a soil rich in nitrogen, without the need for fertilization.

Regardless of my love for growing vegetables and other plants in the garden, I tried for years to cook a pea soup worthy of the name. Experience after one another led to failure, it is perfect for all the rest of the legume dishes that actually worked well. The Hindu catastrophe stopped at once, when the recipe got the corps in the sentence “Do not soak peas!”. To emphasize the point, in every third line of the opening of the sentence “I mention – do not soak peas!”. But when I read what the recipe said, even though everything connected and clarified, I already had a pound of pea halves (that’s how it comes in a bag from the writer) that served an entire night.

The pea seed is found to consist of two halves in which preservatives intended for the future plant, and between two parts pass a small. The two halves of the pea and the embryo trapped between, wrapped in the peel, are peeled for processing. So I wondered: Statistically, if the fetus is not harmed and the conditions are perfect, there is a chance that half of the semen will germinate (take a moment to understand the strange sentence I wrote). At the same time, it seems that he has not gone over these seeds and is not fair to them for anything. To my amazement the germination percentage was very impressive and so it turned out that after the previous winter (peas grew well in winter and in summer it is the turn of the beans), I had a lot of seeds.

We sowed these at the beginning of winter (the kids have already helped!), And this year got an amazing amount of this wonderful green. highly recommend!
