How to Save King Tut Garden Pea Seeds
Garden peas are primarily self-pollinating, so separating varieties by approximately 50 feet is generally sufficient for maintaining seed purity.
Allow pods to fully mature and dry naturally on the plant until they turn brown and the seeds inside begin to rattle. Once fully dried, harvest the pods carefully from the vines.
Some growers prefer to pull entire plants and allow them to continue drying in a protected location before shelling the peas, though this step is optional. Once completely cured, shell the peas and store the dried seeds in a cool dry place for future planting seasons.
