About Dundale Pea Cover Crop Garden Seeds

Dundale field pea is a cool-weather cover crop ideally suited for direct outdoor broadcasting as soon as soil can be worked after final frost date. For more traditional sowing, plant 2-3 Dundale pea seeds 1-2" deep and 2-3" apart in Organically rich, well-drained garden soil in full sun, light shade in warm summer months. Pea cover crops seeds are traditionally soaked overnight in warm water to accelerate germination. Heirloom Dundale pea seeds germinate in 7-14 days, thinning back to 4-6" apart in the garden once true leaves establish. Pisum sativum subsp. arvense is a hardy cover crop with no serious pests or diseases, but monitor regularly for slugs and powdery mildew.

Non-GMO Dundale pea is a European heirloom native to Western Austria, where it is still popularly cultivated, and the most hearty and sustaining among open-pollinated pea plants. Dundale is a trailing annual garden vegetable and cool-season cover crop known to have a stronger ability to provide weed control in the pea plant family. In North America, the Dun pea is widely cultivated in the cool, temperate Pacific Northwest. Differentiated by its seed pod, color, and size, Dun pea garden seeds wear a greenish brown with yellow cotyledons and are popularly dimpled.

Dundale Pea Benefits

Heirloom Dundale pea is rich in protein-fortifying amino acids and carbohydrates and, even just a half cup serving, provides nearly 50% of daily recommended values of several essential vitamins. The field pea is widely accepted as one of the earliest domesticated crops, but mostly cultivated for livestock fodder only until 2,000 years ago. Today, Dundale is a commercially successful garden cultivar of pea grown for human consumption rather than cattle while also a choice cover crop to aid in replenishing nitrogen, soil tilth, erosion control, and repelling certain soil-borne pathogens. The open-pollinated Dundale pea seed grows a popular protein substitute and can highlight both the flower garden and variety of culinary treats in the kitchen.
