Peas: the sweet secret of home gardening! Growing your own peas is a game-changer – they’re not just sweet, but super easy to cultivate. Direct sow, guide them up a trellis, keep the soil moist, and in just two and a half months, you’ll be harvesting tons of fresh peas.
The taste? Unmatched. Grocery store peas lose their sugar content over time, but when you grow and eat them fresh, it’s a whole new level of sweetness. Oregon Sugar Pod II and Green Arrow are my favorites, but I love spicing it up with Golden Sweet Yellow Snow Peas or the mesmerizing almost black podded Royal Snow.

I find that growing peas is totally worth it peas have a higher sugar content which makes them taste very sweet the sugar content quickly degrades once harvested so the ones you get at the grocery store have lost a lot of their Sugar by the time you buy and then
Eat them there is a huge difference when you grow them yourself and eat them fresh while all of their sugar content is still intact plus they are super easy to grow just directo seeds grow them up a trellis keep the soil moist and harvest in about 2 and 1/2 months the
Standard green pea is awesome I always have success with Oregon sugar pod 2 or green arrow but it’s super fun to grow the more unique colored peas like golden sweet yellow snow peas or Royal snow which is almost black in color just very striking being able to grow unique
Colors of my favorite veggies is part of what makes gardening fun for me I do have seeds on my website if you want to try growing these varieties too

I got some super rare Avi Juan peas from The Seed Detective. Planting this weekend. Can't wait!
I haven't tried the different colored ones, but I love growing and eating peas. Love your earrings!
I don't grow peas but do grow few bush beans every year
So good fresh off the vine. Mine rearly make it into the house!!!!
Oh man. I planted two super long rows of peas by my trellis about an inch deep and the next day I came out and they were all dug up in tiny little holes and some of the peas shells (outer part of the seed?) were left. Apparently mice are everywhere right now (we even found two hanging out in the trunk of the car the other day😱which was weird because there was no trace of food back there). My husband caught them on camera! We set up humane traps and relocated 3 but I don’t think my husband relocated them far enough away! 😂 My daughter did not want us to use the other kind of traps. Still, apparently they found all of my peas because not one has come up yet even in this beautiful weather we’ve had the last couple weeks of 70’s during the day. 😢So sad! I guess I may have to plant these in seed trays inside until I can get them transplanted. 🤷🏻♀️
