I had peas growing under heavy frost blanket last winter, through our crazy heavy winter last year. I was amazed. They were in the same bed as mustard green and lettuce, didnt even trellis. There were weeks that i couldn't get out there. Had great little harvest. Still finishing the mustard greens I froze last year. Zone 8b, Tehachapi mountains.
I have only ever had peas in the can. I will only eat the early sweet variety because I find larger peas too pulpy. I am really glad you posted this when you did because I was just about to go out start planting my first ever crop of peas. I have chosen the Lincoln variety because I seemed to recall in a previous video that you said it was a good one. As a trellis I am going try hanging some bird netting on the PVC I have used for my tomatoes. I figured this will make it easy for the plants to find the "trellis" and I don't have to mess with hanging a bunch of new strings as I had to take down the old ones as they had rotted some and were very weak. I am only planting about four feet of peas since this is my first attempt, but if all goes well I will plant a larger crop next time around.
Fresh Peas are the bomb. Don't taste anything like store bought
Canned peas are DISGUSTING. I grow peas all the time. I can barely get enough into the house, I just eat them as I work in the garden!
I need to try again. Last year the shoots came up and then died. Due to lack of attention I am afraid. Today we are 90 again. Hard to tell when the cooler weather is here to stay.
Okay Brian, you’ve inspired me to plant some peas on my teeny, tiny patio. Sending love and hugs to you, Emilie and Noah. I enjoyed seeing Bella’s legs working right along with you. ❤️🤗❤️
Well you’ve convinced me! I’m going to try them. I really have disliked peas my whole life. 😂
Love my sweet peas. Michigan don't allow sowing untill late March, or later 😢
Nice shot of the “peas” 😆😆 aren’t those kale?
They are the best! Blessings 💞🤗
Bella loves it.
I just soaked some in water.
It’s so cute how Bella is interested in gardening also. 😊😊
I'm not sure if it was the crows or the raccoons that ate my peas last year. This year I know that the raccoons are for sure digging up my garden. I think they're looking for worms as I had spread compost with a lot of worms in that particular bed. They are only digging up that one particular bed though they slightly disturbed a large grow bad with oregano and peppers. They dug up, but did not eat, my lettuce, cauliflower, and spinach seedlings, but they did not touch the chives which were quite mature. I tried netting draped over PVC pipe and secured with garden staples and bricks. Those four-legged steam shovels got by the netting, staples and bricks. After several variations on covering the bed, I've given up for the time being. I'm thinking that chicken wire might be a better way to go. Any recommendations?
Yes, I agree anything but peas from the garden are awful, but also I don't like peas other than snow or snap peas. I grow them every year! And in the Monterey bay area that is almost all year!
AWESOME, double feature today! BELLA loves to garden how sweet to see her next to pawpaw inquiring mind and snout looking on…shes delightful! What a great puppy, obvious dads little girl!
I copied your trellis, it’s awesome!
"the more you pick, the more they produce"
thats what i always say about my raspberry plants, it always seams like if i eat alot, they make alot, if i only eat a little, they only make a little.
Ive always wondered if it was what was actually happening, and what other plants might do it. Good to know.
Where is the best place to buy pea plants
There is nothing better than fresh grown peas!
I planted peas two weeks ago and only one came up. I now am soaking the peas to replant tomorrow.
Canned peas are horrible. Store bought frozen peas are ok, but I totally agree. There's nothing better than home grown.
Got some really healthy peas growing here in South Australia, (mid Spring, zone 9) thanks for the extra advice Brian!
Thank you so much. I did make mistakes last year growing them. Didn't fertilize enough. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Planting snap peas tomorrow.
I have grown peas over the summer. Peas are way bigger than in the can.
Fresh pea pods taste like summer….. says the person from the north
I love the double duty that you get from those tomato trellis's! Love peas! Thanks for a great video!
The voles ate my September peas! Gotta plant more now. Zone 9B.
