Epic 6-Cell Trays restock daily M-F now and ship in 2 days anywhere in USA / Canada! bit.ly/3lkA6q4 Now get on your PEA game this season...there's still time!
The cells are awesome! I've got corn, lavender, gogis, 3 types of kale started in them. More to plant! Waiting on a third growlight, should be here next week.
PLEASE HELP! How do you keep stray cats and other animals out of your yard/garden? My raised planters and all my plants become beds these cats won't go and just lay on plants killing them. Never seen an animal intentionally lay on growing plants like these.
I bought peas and beans as a support crop SNow peas, cuz they are great for snacking and a striped red and white Italian bean I am gonna dry for soups this winter.
@@nervousbabbs2769 would your plants be able to grow through a "canopy" of chicken wire? tack it to the edges of your planters so it is suspended above soil level. cats hate the feel of chicken wire as much as tin foil.
Note: if you want to direct sow peas, squirrels leave them alone if you force them to root about a quarter of an inch before planting. The chemical change no longer tastes good. Lost almost 2/3 of my planting until we started this method.
@@saragoucha5244 no, meaning he will do a detailed video, say for tomatoes, from planting the seed, training, feeding, watering, everything detailed from planting the seed, all the way thru harvest
Sugar snaps are like candy for me. My brother grew some one year and it was difficult to not eat every one i found. Many ppl feel the same about cherry tomatoes and i think thats one of the best things about gardening, just grazing as you go.
I wanna reiterate yet again that you have inspired me, I recently went to the Walmart garden center to browse their clearance and found a half dead star jasmine for $2.50, and now I have a thriving star jasmine near my bedroom window. Never thought I could ever have a plant survive past a week, much less thrive. Thank you for inspiring me ^^
Sugar snap peas is what I like to snack on while in the garden during the cool season, much like cherry tomatoes are my go to garden snack during the warm weather.
Kevin! I hope you know you are actually helping so many people grow a greener thumb. When I just started getting into gardening I found your channel and now I have a small balcony garden! You do are so cool and all the information that you give is amazing. Love you and your team💖💖
When I was young my grandfather had a large garden in which he had a sizeable pea patch. He would go out and pick his peas for grandma to cook for dinner only to find I had eaten the peas, leaving the pods behind. His harvest was smaller than he would have liked but after getting hot under the collar, he had to forgive me as I at least was getting my veggies.
I'm so glad you mentioned the temperature at which peas start to bolt - I was about to plant some this weekend, but 80 degree days are upon us, so fall it is. I wish more pros would talk about actual temperatures and weather conditions that affect plants - it's very helpful information for beginners like me.
Greetings! I’m a beginner gardener, and I was scrolling to find this as a more in depth topic of conversation. So how’s it going for you 2 years in? Peas in particular have me confused. Firstly, I live in Tampa Florida. Right now it is a absolutely blistering heat 90’s+ in the afternoons. Very humid as well with our daily 3-4pm storms. I sprout all my plants indoors. Then transplant to small containers on porch completely shaded. They don’t get any sun and look great until I get put in a raised bed, they seem to yellow, wilt, and stop growing. Sun hits them from 1-630p. I’m feeling like they’d be better off completely shaded at this point. Not really sure what to try. Any suggestions, or tips would be appreciated. Thank you
When my sister's kids were young, ten and less years old, every time they visited my folks they would make a run for the pea plants and eat their fill. ^_^ What an awesome vegetable. :)
I have a habit of planting stuff then coming to this Chanel to see how it’s supposed to be done and I ALWAYS do it the wrong way 😅 maybe I should start coming here first.
You know you are a dedicated viewer when you take the time to watch a video on growing peas when you have no intention of ever growing peas because you don't even like peas!!! LOL 💖
I’ll do you one even further: when you don’t even need help growing peas because they’re already blooming - but you watch anyway just to support Kev and the team. 😂
I grow peas for the pods only. Stir fry with a little oil, soy sauce, chopped garlic, a touch of white sugar and a tbls of oyster flavored sauce. It’s really good. You can leave out the oyster sauce too.
If you don't like peas it's because you haven't eaten them right in the garden! I never liked green peas either until I grew them. Now, we eat them all before they make it inside.
@@catsknit23 that very well could be... the only peas I've had has been the "squishy" ones from a can or frozen... never fresh from the garden.... maybe I should hold of judgement for a while :)
I’ve never grown peas but I have a bunch of seeds waiting! Thanks Kevin! ❤️ PS. This was my first year doing seeds and I have tons of varieties of peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, squash, and cucumber taking over my apartment. SO exciting!! My bf thinks I’m crazy cuz I talk to my plants but whatever 🤪
I am so glad I watched this video. You have saved my small urban crop. I have been doing EVERYTHING wrong. 😳 Thank goodness I am at a stage where I can transplant and get growth.
I grew snap peas for the first time last fall. They came out great, and were so easy. All direct sow. I have more, about two feet tall, for a spring crop. I have been making monthly videos of my garden progress.
Love how you just popped up and started talking. Made me laugh out loud 🤣 Thanks for inspiring me to start a garden. I’m loving it! Never knew I would appreciate gardening so much. Trying not to go overboard!
I have green and purple snap peas growing, started quite a few weeks ago. Tons of edible flowers, amaranth, chamomile, sunflowers, and radishes! May not seem like a lot but I live in the mojave desert 🤣 so I'm extra excited about a little green in my garden bed.
Thank you so much for this video. So perfectly timed. I've been growing peas and the results haven't been consistent - some don't make it to full size. Now I know why: my watering has been irregular and that's probably why I've been struggling with spider mites.
I loooooove peas! We planted Green Arrow shelling peas in a make-shift low tunnel (heated later on) on 9-14-20 in Chicago. Some grew, it got cold, they died, but the babies plants lived. They just stopped growing but lived. Then here comes March. We warmed up in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. The peas took off! In 2 weeks...we had flowers. About mid-April, we harvested our first pea's. I harvested a bunch more this morning:)
This was incredibly helpful! My daughter got a fairy garden that had snap pea seeds. They quickly took over the plastic garden so I took them out and put them outside with zero research and information. They are now producing pods! I found this looking for when it’s time to harvest. But now I definitely want to grow them again next year, but have a better place in my yard in mind to give them cooler temps and a little shade. Thanks, Kevin!
I knw this is a vide on on Peas, Kevin, but that Chamomile! WHOA! she is gorgeous! Great info as always , ty. "Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy, Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope( & Mark)!
Another well done video, and I am SO with you on standing in the garden eating fresh peas! I live in zone 9b, this year i'm going to try an early Fall crop, then some succession planting. Wish me luck.
Yessss I grew them for the first time this spring and I think they’re my favorite. Loved the shapes or the leaves and the flowers and it’s sweet tasty peas with protein
Planning on growing some winter crops im a little late in the fall to start but our winters (gauteng province south africa) are quite mild (0c-20c) planned crops are beans, celery , turnips , parsnips , peas and one or two others i cant remember
Thanks for the video Kevin! With Springs getting shorter and shorter (here in 7a we seem to go from Winter to Summer much quicker now) our cool weather crop season is getting tougher to grow bumper crops! Fingers crossed for this spring!
Transplanted some pea plants in our garden a week or so ago. Discouraged to already find red spider mites crawling all over the now 4 in. vines. Blasted them with a neem + dr bronners peppermint soap soln two days in a row but still see some crawling about. Not sure if frequent neem application or even spider mites themselves would be harmful to the plant but with all the plants, compost, containers, structures, fertilizers and pest control products that seem necessary, gardening is tougher and more expensive than I expected for plants that may not even bear fruit.
Thanx Kevin I love your video,i am still a beginner but i am learning so much from you, for one I made the mistake of watering them the wrong way and I don't have a system where they can grow upwards, doing that right now, will definitely follow your channel
I just harvest my pea today, end of Apr. Great spring veggie. Easy to grow and no need for a lot of space. I grow mine in container sitting in a south facing balcony
Thank you Kevin for all your great tips. I am in the UK. I started growing veg last year and only use fabric grow bags of various sizes so your container tips have been most useful. Most of what I do is experimental so your knowledge has been super. Also it was nice of you to mention Huw Richards and give him credit for the rain pipe tip.
In South Africa easter weekend is the best time to plant peas mine grow in winter as summer is too hot they are nice and sweet I normally eat them before they get to the pot lol
TY, TY!! Decided this year to use indoor grow tent & had to use the grow lights to for them to grow up, I didn't know you can't plant so close together. I only have 8 plants but 1st try
I laughed out loud when you said, “there’s no point in bringing them indoors”. I grow climbing peas purposely to eat as I am doing my daily garden checks. They NEVER make their way into the house. I call it the gardener’s treat; the equivalent to the chef’s treat!
Great timing- Setting out peas and direct -sowing over the next few days and this is inspiring. Also, we grow the last type of peas- drying peas/soup peas- one of the best winter storage crops. Would like to see the bamboo lashing trellis video!
This video is my childhood. Me and grandpa planting all kinds of things and when it came time to harvest, we ate practically all of the peas fresh off the vine while we worked. I wish peas grew better than they do in my part of Florida.
Fantastic video, thank you so much! I went crazy and planted 200 peas over the past 3 months. The first ones are huge and have hundreds of flowers … but almost no peas. Am I doing something wrong? I gave them phosphorus two weeks ago and some of them started to produce.
The shelling peas were my favorite thing that came out of my first time garden last year. And I grew around 25 crops! There is nothing like that flavor!
Peas are the perfect crop, I planted a lot, all 3 kinds and some just for shoots too. Also good just to cover some bare ground until summer crops go in because you can never have too many. They're a veg that freezes well if you really can't eat them all.
Girl, get thee to Amazon. There’s a granular inoculant in a white shaker container. It’s absolutely bonkers how well it works when your first try fails. I promise you, it makes a big difference (since we don’t have Epic soil, heh).
Thanks, getting ready to try again, and this should help a lot. Something ate all our shoots a few years ago--we suspect pigeons or doves--so we put netting over them, and that seemed to work, but we didn't have a handy system for removing and replacing it for weeding. I guess once they get up high enough, you don't have to worry about weeding?
I love your book, so I feel that I have to dig really really Deep, although I live in the mountains, the soil is still dry, well thank you so much your friends and fan near fort Tejhon 🦮🌼😇🌲🌻🥑😺💜💙🌧🌻🥥
Thanks for the video! I am going to direct sow some sugar snap peas tomorrow. I live in New England and the nights are still cool and will be for at least another month! I can't wait to see my harvest! Thanks again!
Hi, i'm a noob garderner from France, i'm doing my very first garden ... and i'm doing it in a wasteland. I just wanna say that you'r vids are perfects ! sound, vid, very good explainations, cute smiling guy, perfect ! I'll eat my first own vegetables with a thinking for you. ( please excuse my bad english )
I’m in Mesa Az and just have garden peas a couple weeks old and I’m about to plant dwarf peas. Crossing my fingers. They’re one of my favorite food but I have truly sucked at growing! So I’m hoping the fall will be kinder and they actually make more than a couple pods! I had something kill the fist ones and I think powder mildew. All yellowed and died as they were finally making flowers and had a couple pods. When I was younger we lived in Virginia for awhile and my dad grew peas and I’d take a paper bag of them for lunch.
Thanks for this video, Kevin! Garden-fresh peas are hard to beat. Troubleshooting question: are fibrous snow/snap pea pods usually a varietal issue or a watering or other care issue?
North TX, have sugar snaps starting to bloom, got white-fly on a few, used Neem oil spray & pulled a few to control... yesterday...seems to be controlled :-)
Most of my sugar snap peas don't make it into the house. Some grew to long to chew the pods so they were shelled and still eaten raw everytime I open my fridge! Will always grow them in the proper seasons!
Unrelated to this video, but regarding ginger? I found what I think is the most cost effective planter for it: dollar store litter boxes. drill a few holes for drainage and you are golden.
I love your vibes man. Every video is inspiring. I tried to grow peas last spring and I got maybe 10 or less out of like 3 plants. Now I know what to do. 🙏
I love your videos because I live in the same climate zone as you do (Orange County) and we have followed your advice and come up with some healthy compost and successful crops!

Same here.
Strange how that happens

Pretty sure the same thing will happen in my garden

Yes please do a video on the bamboo teepee type trellis! I’d love to see how someone ties those up before I attempt to make one for my beans

What are the tall yellow flowers you planted by your peas I really like how they look
Planted snow peas with my kids last month. They are getting a kick out of checking on them in the evenings. Perfect plants for kids.

Could you do a video on growing sweet and sour cherries, and black raspberries?
I mean, I have black raspberries in the wild where I live and they grow in filtered light and the soil is basically always damp as it's in a forest
You should also apparently trellis it and do standard raspberry care to improve yield

I love your book, so I feel that I have to dig really really Deep, although I live in the mountains, the soil is still dry, well thank you so much your friends and fan near fort Tejhon 🦮🌼😇🌲🌻🥑😺💜💙🌧🌻🥥
Thanks for the video! I am going to direct sow some sugar snap peas tomorrow. I live in New England and the nights are still cool and will be for at least another month! I can't wait to see my harvest! Thanks again!
We’re having a very mild summer in Alaska but my peas are thriving
Hi, i'm a noob garderner from France, i'm doing my very first garden ... and i'm doing it in a wasteland. I just wanna say that you'r vids are perfects ! sound, vid, very good explainations, cute smiling guy, perfect ! I'll eat my first own vegetables with a thinking for you.
( please excuse my bad english )
I’m in Mesa Az and just have garden peas a couple weeks old and I’m about to plant dwarf peas. Crossing my fingers. They’re one of my favorite food but I have truly sucked at growing! So I’m hoping the fall will be kinder and they actually make more than a couple pods! I had something kill the fist ones and I think powder mildew. All yellowed and died as they were finally making flowers and had a couple pods. When I was younger we lived in Virginia for awhile and my dad grew peas and I’d take a paper bag of them for lunch.
Thanks for this video, Kevin! Garden-fresh peas are hard to beat. Troubleshooting question: are fibrous snow/snap pea pods usually a varietal issue or a watering or other care issue?
They will get more rough if you mismanage the crop, but yes grow the most popular varieties of snow/snap for the non-fibrous genetics
My peas recently germinated, can't wait to harvest
North TX, have sugar snaps starting to bloom, got white-fly on a few, used Neem oil spray & pulled a few to control... yesterday...seems to be controlled :-)
Most of my sugar snap peas don't make it into the house. Some grew to long to chew the pods so they were shelled and still eaten raw everytime I open my fridge! Will always grow them in the proper seasons!
Me, at four in the morning: *minding my own business, notices the new video*
Kevin: *pops out from behind the peas*
My brain: *WHEEZE*
Love peas! My fav variety to grow is the heirloom variety "Little Marvel". They are super sweet ...I call them garden candy!
Unrelated to this video, but regarding ginger? I found what I think is the most cost effective planter for it: dollar store litter boxes. drill a few holes for drainage and you are golden.
Fantastic!
I love your vibes man. Every video is inspiring. I tried to grow peas last spring and I got maybe 10 or less out of like 3 plants. Now I know what to do. 🙏
I love your videos because I live in the same climate zone as you do (Orange County) and we have followed your advice and come up with some healthy compost and successful crops!
I always transplant my peas (because my daughter loves to see them grow) but I’m going to start direct sowing
You're growing one of my favourite varieties of Nasturtium. I love the Peach Melba! So pretty
