Ive asked some good friends over the years what do you think is the perfect food. One genius friend of mine said milk. My other genius friend said eggs. Usually ive said its the legume. If you have legumes , and a fat source(oil) and a fruit for Vit.C ..you really have everything needed. And peas are my fav. Thanks. Glory to God.

South Carolina, here. I had a bunch of old snow pea seed from my stash last season. So I germinated some in my heat bed to see how well they would do. They all sprouted! So I planted them out, somewhere in February. Well they grew, and lasted all through the winter. They survived the cold, and we had a few nights down into single digits. Then, when spring came, they took off and produced. I now consider them one of my fall and winter staples.

Hi👋 from one of your Aussie subs - another tops video! The funny thing is, I was standing at the sink, washing and preparing a colander of snow peas I just picked out in the backyard, and a couple of homegrown choko (chayote) too - it's stirfry tonight! I was listening to a music RU-vid video while I worked which ended and then this pea video of yours started up automatically, just as I top & tailed my first pea (cue Twilight Zone music). Coincidence? 🤔 lol! (but if the next video that pops up automatically is something to do with chayote....🤯🤣) Seriously though, love your vids, thanks! 😁👍

@michaelmarchione3408 2 года назад

Sorry I can't be at the chat Jeff, but I'll watch the replay. I planted Alaska Peas this year for the first time. I bought them from Baker Creek. They are frost hardy and will grow well in U.S. zone 3a. We are in 4a I have never grown peas that have climbed so high. We have one trellis that is 5 foot high and these peas are 2 foot plus beyond that. The pods are 2 inches long with 5 or 6 peas inside. They may be short, but man there are a huge amount of pods! Hanging like grapes. Have you ever experienced peas like that. We have grow peas every year, but nothing like these. I did notice that they do need some shade. The one trellis gets a lot of sun during the day and that group needs daily watering. The other group gets half the sunshine and needs less water. Take care!

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 года назад

Hey Michael! That's very interesting, as I've been experimenting with some partial shade growing the last 2 season as well. Congrats on the bounty, I'm going to have to get me a batch of those seeds! 🙂

I'm growing Cascadia bush peas. The pods are edible according to Ed Hume. I've grown bush peas in the past; but, where I live the hot weather comes in July. I planted my peas in May after the snow had gone away. It took the peas about a week or two before the sprouts started popping through the soil. I planted two different types of bush beans at the same time. Both peas and beans have flowers; but, so far that's about it. I'm really wanting fresh peas and beans this year. I grew my tomatoes from seed and they are still not very tall. But, it's too late for me to get tomato plants from the garden center. We had a couple 90 degree days in June; but, it didn't really warm up until now. I'm hoping we have a late frost so that my tomatoes, cucumbers, and peas and beans produce. The collards and kale are doing pretty good; but, I think the earwigs are getting to them.

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 года назад

Great update Donna. I agree about the weather...its just wrecking havoc on even the simplest crops to grow. Hopefully we can adapt and figure it out as we go along.....

Thanks for another educational video. I'm supposed to be resting my shoulder till I see the ortho the morrow, but we had a massive thunder storm last eve and till today I haven't been in my garden since I got hurt last Saturday. All kinds of things are happening in my garden, including we're having way too much windy rain on 5 of 8 eves which I fear is bad for some of my plants. You asked me to keep you updated on my 15 pea & bean soup experiment in the garden. Thus far they're shooting for the sun....especially my sunflower's stalks which have grown over a foot since last wknd. I have NO clue what these little miracles are going to do. I'm just having a blast being in the center of this ever-growing world. Oh yeah, I picked my 1st Gypsy pepper today too. Its still a lime color, but its almost 5" long & I thought the Mum plant deserved a holiday. Take care, ~ Covah

Here in the PNW slugs can decimate direct planted peas in the spring. I haven't had any issues transplanting, and then once I know those are taking off I will direct sow a succession crop. This gives me a nice supply of peas from my 8' pea walls.

Thanks so much! Yes, you can work around your hot season....should be able to plant twice. Once during your hot season for harvest when it cools off, then well before for harvest prior to the temperatures rising. Best of luck!

Good day my favourite RU-vid gardener.. When should I direct seeds for pees outside in Calgary.? I notice many are already planting last of April but I noticed lots of my beds are frozen

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3 месяца назад

Hey Miguel! For peas, I find waiting until the SOIL temperature hits 10C is your best bet. Peas seeds rot fairly easily in cold soil....you want them to basically germinate right away. So you gotta wait until it warms up, rather than a hard-coded date on the calendar. :-)

@clairwilliams4093 2 года назад

Newbie gardener here, I only started gardening in March and peas were some of the first seeds I sowed. The days to harvest were exactly what the package said, almost to the day. But the plants didn't get very big and were definitely not prolific... only a few pods on each plant. They are in a spot that gets afternoon sun only, so I'll try in a different spot and see if that makes a difference. I'm gardening in containers and am limited as to where I can put plants, so I'm still figuring out what goes where.

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 года назад

Exactly Claire, it's all about testing and experimenting for your spot... Find the best places for each crop, each year. It's always a work in progress, especially if you are just starting out. :-)

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 года назад

2 or 3 vines in a 1 gallon pot can definitely work! However, when they get tall, they can act as a sail, so smaller pots run the real risk of falling over in the wind. But in terms of space for the roots, they don't need much! 🙂

@eileenbartnick7202 2 года назад

Do peas need pollinators for pea formation? I had covered mine with tulle material because the birds were destroying the plants. I uncovered them when they began to bloom. And once again the birds are the leaves AND the pea pods. So if they do not need pollution, I will leave them covered!! Thanks!!

I live in the Middle East and unfortunately this winter is missing the rain and cold (we have a warmer climate here any way, but the other day I was telling a small child that the season is winter and they couldn’t believe it, I told them that this winter is missing rain, the child looked as me as if I were a fool, couldn’t believe it was winter.), it is my first year starting a veggie garden, the seed packet I got claims you could sow this verity of garden peas year round, is it possible to grow peas in a warmer climate (19c +)?

There should be varieties more tailor made to your climate sold locally.,....I'd trust those ones first. But definitely try to grow in the coolest months of the year.

Worth remembering, medieval times means NO POTATOES. So peas were saved and dried and cooked to feed ppl during winter when there was little food. Farmers had to grow EVERYTHING they ate. Thats why they didnt eat them fresh. They were also a field crop. Huge amounts were grown. Remember, no potatoes back then.
