The bacterium Rhizobium is found in the root nodules of leguminous plants such as peas. It lives in symbiotic association with plants and fixes the atmospheric nitrogen in leguminous plants. This increases the fertility of the soil. Hence, farmers cultivate plants belonging to the legume family.

∙ 14y agoF1 (First generation hybrid) seed means that the plants have a 100% chance that they will be exactly what the label says on the packet. This means that the farmer is guaranteed that what he sows will be what finally flowers and fruits. This is extremely important if the farmer is contract growing crops for a chain store where the product standards are exacting.
The alternative is cheaper F2 or open pollinated seed (OP); however the genetic purity of the seed cannot be guaranteed, as such the variation in the fruit size, shape, colour, flavour and time to reach maturity cannot be known.

Because English Peas don't have a specific growing season, they can be purchased year round. In order to purchase fresh peas, you should either check with local farms or farmers or go to farmers markets.
