Thanks for another wonderful video. I have “sampled” various garden channels and your videos rank number one in every category I look for in an enjoyable, informative experience. 🙂
I'm trying Oregon Sugar Pod peas right now in Australia, they're currently a similar height to yours. It's a cool season crop in many parts here, and does grow slower with the short winter days. Can't wait for them to start blooming and usher in the feeling of spring
Really interesting, I never knew you could cram so many pea plants together like that; I thought it had to be one at each 'foot' of the wigwam - will bear that in mind next year! Those obelisks are beautifully made, too, thank you for letting us know about them.
I had never heard of that Rosekrone pea, even though I'm from Sweden. Now I have to get some for next year. I'm growing another Swedish heirloom pea, "Lokförare Bergfeldts jätteärt". Meaning Train Driver Bergfeldt'sGiant pea. Mine are over 2,5 meters, and getting huge pods, over 20 cm. Beautiful purple flowers and tasty pods. But huge.
Sounds wonderfully,do you save your own seeds from this variety,or are they available to buy,I have an allotment and try to grow mostly heritage varieties of vegetables,I find they taste so much better,there's nothing to compare with shop bought veg!
End of June and my garden is almost gone. Just a few onions, carrots, ginger, and celery left. I am a little surprised the celery does not mind the heat (in Arizona). The lettuce and spinach bolted back in May. Nice display of your plant supports! ❤
Thanks Katrina, those are lovely supports, nice to treat yourself occasionally, nice to see your peas and beans are quite robust, good idea to protect them not only from the pigeons but the combination of heat and wind at this time of year can desiccate the leaves and weaken otherwise healthy new plants too ! I Checked out the Orchard Garden, they have some lovely items for sale, I'd love to do something similar one day !
Have you tried the 3 sisters Native American way of planting beans, squash, and corn before? It is definitely a great idea and really interesting. I just read Braiding Sweetgrass, and she talks about it in one chapter, but I'd heard about it before as well. The peas you planted look great on the trellis you put up.
I have tried that method,I grew Trail of tears beans up sweetcorn,the beans were for shelling and are very productive the squash variety needs to be the smaller ones as I grew rather large pumpkins between the corn and had to redirect them away from the corn as they swamped everything with their big leaves and vigorous growth,if you have a lot of room then it works very well!
I've tried Ambassador, Early Onward, and Kevldon Wonder. I keep coming back to the taste and yield of Early Onward though. They've been really reliable. For beans, I've had no luck with french beans, but love Scarlet Emperor. They grow amazingly.
Love watching your gardening journey, I have an allotment too. Just wondering what do you mulch your plot with as you said it looks very black and soft and rich. 😊
My husband lost my tresured Falco secateurs some years back,they turened up five years later when he was rebuiding the compst boxes,my son managed to restore them to working order,now i dont let hubby use them,!
my peas keep getting gobbled at seelding stage, not sure what it is. rabbits, killer-slugs? I net them but come and check and they are just stalks. Very frustrating.
Depending on the size of the holes in your mesh and how you have it secured at the bottom, I would suspect slugs and mice. Remember any gap larger than the diameter of a pencil can be accessed by mice. Both pests can go under the mesh, if not through it.
Young veg plants don’t need roots loosening as it may damage and disturb them, causing set backs. I would only recommend teasing the roots of tougher, plants that are pot bound such as perennials and shrubs.
@@sleepysong_aupeas and beans don't like to have their roots disturbed especially when they've grown that big it checks their growth!only if you put a lot of seed in a pot then the beans need separating at an early stage;
As others have said, veg and especially peas don’t like their roots being messed with. There are actually deep root trainers on the market which are designed to encourage the seedlings to develop long roots. The pots can then be taken apart and the seedling plus its growing medium gently popped straight in the final growing spot with minimal to no disturbance of its root system.
@@franceswatts4001 I used to use the deep root trainers years ago. Now I start the seeds in loose soil and only one or two days after they sprout, plant them. Once they have sprouted they don't mind some cold weather.
