Pea Heirloom Mix Seeds

Pea Heirloom Mix (Pisum sativum)

Not for TAS

Mix of pea varieties that include snap pea, snow pea, and shelling pea types. Some seeds in this mix are treated with the fungicide Thiram. These treated seeds are strictly for propagation purposes and should not be consumed by humans or animals. After handling, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Treated seeds are often dyed a distinct color to indicate treatment. The resultant crop is safe for consumption. In Australia, the use of fungicide-treated seeds may be required by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) to prevent the entry of exotic pests and diseases. 

Sowing Instructions:

• Preparation: Soak seeds in water for a few hours before planting.
• Planting Depth: 20mm deep.
• Spacing: Rows should be 40cm apart.
• Germination: Seeds typically emerge in 10-14 days.
• Indoor Sowing: In extreme weather conditions, start seeds indoors and transplant when mature.

Safety Precautions:

Thiram-treated seeds require careful handling:

• Avoid direct consumption or feeding to animals.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Wear gloves when handling seeds.
• Wash hands thoroughly after contact.

These measures are essential to prevent potential health risks associated with Thiram exposure.
