The bacterium Rhizobium is found in the root nodules of leguminous plants such as peas. It lives in symbiotic association with plants and fixes the atmospheric nitrogen in leguminous plants. This increases the fertility of the soil. Hence, farmers cultivate plants belonging to the legume family.

Farmers plant peas after the season of another plant to replenish nitrogen in the soil, as peas are known for fixing nitrogen. This helps improve soil fertility for the next crop. Additionally, rotating crops can help break pest and disease cycles.
F1 (First generation hybrid) seed means that the plants have a 100% chance that they will be exactly what the label says on the packet. This means that the farmer is guaranteed that what he sows will be what finally flowers and fruits. This is extremely important if the farmer is contract growing crops for a chain store where the product standards are exacting.
The alternative is cheaper F2 or open pollinated seed (OP); however the genetic purity of the seed cannot be guaranteed, as such the variation in the fruit size, shape, colour, flavour and time to reach maturity cannot be known.
Farmers plant seeds so that they can grow fruits and vegetables for market. It is how a farmer makes his living.
it releases nitrogen and oxegen waste into the soil to make the soil richer

Where can you buy fresh English peas?
Because English Peas don't have a specific growing season, they can be purchased year round. In order to purchase fresh peas, you should either check with local farms or farmers or go to farmers markets. Because English Peas are only good 2-3 days after picking, most of them are sold to companies for canning or freezing. Call around, and see if the farmers markets or farmers near you have any available; if they don't, ask if they can tell you where you can get them.

Plant those peas next year for another crop. Keep doing that each year and you never have to buy seeds.

Is peas a stem?
No, peas are not a stem. Peas are a type of vegetable that grow from the seeds of the pea plant, Pisum sativum. The stem is a part of the plant that provides support and transports nutrients and water.
