peas are a cool summer crop , and can be grown in autum , they are cold hardy , but not frost resistant , they generaly do well straight through the year.

hi I like to point out that temperate does not cover Sydney near airport, it should be called warm temperate, it makes a big difference, quoting suburbs also gives people an idea what will grow where,thank you

You're kidding right Frank? Near Sydney airport is neither sub-tropical, nor cool/mountain. Temperate covers a lot of the Sydney basin just fine, and the rest comes down to your aspect and nuances of where you live.

I have one website saying sub-tropical is all the way down to Sydney and another saying it stops just over the northern NSW border. Websites are only a guide.

Mike, yes. I was lead to believe that subtropical was from midway between Mackay and Rockhampton and extended into Nrthn NSW. However, as you say, 'Websites are only a guide', which is why I planted some things out of season (according to packets). For example, some people said eggplant won't grow here. It does.

A very open question. Do you want the pod or the seeds. If the pods - good luck with that. If seeds -- dried seeds for what - eat or plant. Bulk - 250 g 400g or 10 kilo. A company in Tasmania called southern harvest on the internet sells in lots up to 400gms. 400gms costs from $8 to $17 depending on which pea seed. You could contact them to see if they sell 1 kg or whatever yo are after. Otherwise jump on the internet and start searching for Melbourne suppliers if it has to be Melbourne.

Kane Fleming in Camperdown, Victoria sells them for 20kg for $16. They are edible field peas and good for green manure. You can find him on Facebook or through My veg garden Warrnambool FB group.
