""Peas tend to grow well indoors during winter since they prefer cooler temperatures and generally do extremely well in a container," she said. Peas are one of the best seeds to grow in your kitchen because they are cool-season plants that need consistent temperatures that can be harder to achieve outside in the winter. Young plants can survive at temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, but pea plants do best in temperatures between 55 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit."
"Because they self-pollinate, green peas are easier to start and cultivate indoors. For beginner gardeners, starting plants indoors offers more control over temperature, moisture, and light so that you can hone your skills and figure out what works (and doesn't). According to Zaber, the best varieties of peas to plant indoors are "dwarf and compact varieties...such as Super Sugar Snap peas, Dwarf Grey Sugar peas, Little Marvel peas, and Green Arrow peas.""
"One of the best beginner gardening tips we can offer is not to underestimate the importance of soil quality. When planting peas indoors, you want to choose a well-draining, indoor organic potting soil like a mix of equal parts FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil, compost, and Perlite Bliss #3 Organic Perlite."
Green peas grow well indoors in winter because they prefer cooler temperatures and perform strongly in containers. Young pea plants can survive above 40°F, with optimal growth between 55°F and 65°F. Green peas self-pollinate, which simplifies indoor starting and cultivation. Starting peas indoors gives gardeners greater control over temperature, moisture, and light, enabling skill development and experimentation. Recommended indoor varieties include dwarf and compact types such as Super Sugar Snap, Dwarf Grey Sugar, Little Marvel, and Green Arrow peas. Use a well-draining indoor organic potting mix, for example equal parts FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil, compost, and Perlite Bliss #3 Organic Perlite.
