How to Germinate Garden Peas
- 1). Moisten two paper towels. Lay the two towels on top of each other and fold them in half.
- 2). Lay the dry pea seeds on half of the folded paper towels. The pea seeds can touch each other but must be in a single layer.
- 3). Cover the pea seeds with the remaining quarter of the paper towel by folding it over and on top of the seeds so that you have a paper towel one-fourth of its original size.
- 4). Slide the paper towels, containing the pea seeds, inside the perforated plastic bag.
- 5). Set the bag in a warm location out of direct sunlight. Keep the paper towels moist. Check on the pea seed after three days. The peas are germinated when the roots begin to emerge from the seed.
