This is genius. I can’t wait to try this method next year! Thank you so much for all of these great videos.

@SusansInTheGarden Год назад

I'm so glad you're enjoying them!

@pandywilson9076 2 года назад

I rarely comment on videos but thus is game changing for anything planted in rows!

@KMcKee-qn6bo 2 года назад

I use an ice-cube tray, or an egg-carton, to quick press-in a spaced-hole pattern in the soil, then drop the peas and brush the soil across the top. It cuts my time by 2/3’s.

I have seen this last year and it was so fun to watch it again! Those plants look so perfect. 🤗It feels like spring... 😄 I didn't have much luck with peas last years, I will try them again though, you motivated me🤗 Greetings, Judit

@moirawhite8042 2 года назад

Hi Susan, loved watching this, especially seeing how you weave in your supports 🙂. Here in the UK we grow lots of things in gutters, especially if the seeds don’t like their roots disturbed. Even flowers! For the ends of my gutters I cut plastic to shape from a tub or milk bottle and tape it into place. Then it won’t go soggy or disintegrate. Happy gardening to you 👍🏻😊⭐️

Hello, Moira! Thank you for the tip.

@greenthumbelina7331 2 года назад

Susan, now, after watching you plant gutter peas for a couple of years, I'm finally ready to try it this spring. I bought the plastic gutters and pea seeds... so wish me luck! 🌱I'll wait to start them until the end of April or the middle of March here in zone 5a. I've never dealt with quail or deer, but rabbits and squirrels are my main garden bandits.🐇🐾 I hope you and Bill have a wonderful weekend! ~Margie

Was wondering, did you have holes in the bottom of the gutters? What are those cherries hanging on the side of your raised beds? 13:12. I love how easily they slid in place. Brilliant!!! Gotta try this. Thanks so much for sharing. 👩🏾‍🌾😍👍🏾

@SusansInTheGarden 2 года назад

Hi there. Those are actually the berries on our American cranberry bush, which is a native shrub. Aren't those berries gorgeous?! Robins and cedar waxwings love eating them during the winter months.

@SusansInTheGarden 2 года назад

@@rbthegardennannyllc4219 I'm sorry! I got off on a tangent there. I don't have holes in the bottom of the rain gutters. Because there are just cardboard "end caps" on each gutter, it's easy for excess water to drain out there. However, I'm careful not to do excessive watering of the seedlings.

Great idea!!! I have used gutters to grow lettuce, but not peas! I imagine you can do beans this same way? Also, do the peas really grow well so close together? It seems like they would be crowded and foster powdery mold. But then, I have never done it this way!

@SusansInTheGarden Год назад

Hi, Danielle. I haven't grown beans in gutters because I worry that their succulent stems might break during the planting process of sliding them out of the gutter, but it probably would work. I haven't had any problems with planting the peas this closely together and it's how many, many British gardeners do this, so I feel confident with this method.

@DanielleBarton Год назад

@@SusansInTheGarden Good to know, thanks! I will definitely try this in a few weeks - I'm in Zone 6 - sometimes 5 depending on the year! Last year we couldn't plant until the beginning of June! :-) I'll also try the beans and let you know how it turns out. Maybe it will work if I am VERY gentle....

@SusansInTheGarden Год назад

@@DanielleBarton It's certainly worth a try! Let me know how it goes for you. Take care.

@williamwilliams7706 2 года назад

I do not have to worry about quail but a spray of Bobbex after planting and when spouting keeps the squirrels and mice at bay. I really like this idea though.

@SusansInTheGarden 2 года назад

Hi, William. I haven't had any experience with Bobbex so I went to their website. It turns out that Bobbex can't be used around edible crops once they've developed fruits so it's important for gardeners to be aware of this. But it sounds like you're only using it in the early growth stages of the plants. I'm glad it's working for you because squirrels especially are really challenging!

@user-fy9pq2tk1i 4 месяца назад

Never grown peas before. I've read you should innoculate the seeds. Is this step a must?

@SusansInTheGarden 4 месяца назад

It isn't a must but it does help them. I have to admit I often forget that step!

@milkweed7678 2 года назад

Great video! What a fantastic way to start pes. What varieties do you usually plant? I guess you really don't need inoculation on the seeds.

@SusansInTheGarden 2 года назад

I planted 'Green Arrow' peas. They're our favorites. Sometimes I remember the inoculate the seeds ahead of time, other times I forget!

@milkweed7678 2 года назад

@@SusansInTheGarden I have to say I don't think I've ever had a problem without it. And usually the bag you get is way to much. It says the shelf life is short for using again.

@ClickinChicken 2 года назад

what's the perfect temp and sun shade mix for peas? snow peas? I wreck it every year.

@SusansInTheGarden 2 года назад

Hi, Brian. Peas will germinate in soil that is 40 degrees F. or warmer. The really like cool soil. I plant the peas in full sun, although they usually get a bit of late afternoon shade. But you want to get them going early enough so they're just about finished producing when the summer temperatures begin to heat up. I start the pea seeds about March 7 (which is approx. 5 weeks before our last frost date) and transplant them into the garden about April 14. I hope this information helps.

@michelinebercier-lariviere3095 2 года назад

I will certainly try this technique this spring. How long to you start them before the last frost date?

@SusansInTheGarden 2 года назад

Hello, Micheline. Last year, I started the peas indoors in the rain gutters on Mar. 7. I transplanted them out into the garden on Apr. 14. So here in zone 5b, I started the plants approx. 10 weeks before our last frost date (which is typically May 15) and transplanted them about 4 weeks before our last frost date.

im being allowed to garden at my apartment but i cant dig into the ground. all containers, can they stay in the gutter? is going to trench required?

@SusansInTheGarden Год назад

Hi, Joey. You could grow some plants in gutters, but don't plant the seeds so thickly. Also, you'll want to add some drainage holes. Another thing you might consider gardening in is a vertical planter such as the GreenStalk Garden. I use those and have a couple of videos on how they work (here's a link to one of them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hCd6RaFICHY.html). Then if you move, you can take the planter apart and take it with you!

@jeanetteboruszewski1496 2 года назад

Did you put drain holes in the gutters?

@SusansInTheGarden 2 года назад

Hi, Jeanette. No, I don't because there are the cardboard end "caps" that I put at each end, so excess water can drain out the ends, if needed. This has never been a problem.
