Good to know. I feed mine today with seaweed feed. (UK) They only about 8-10 cm tall and I wasn't sure how good the compost grow bag I bought to grow them in was,I'm not sure if it had feed in it as was cheap,but was a grow bag,flat bags,as peas have short roots I was told it be good to grow them in there up the fence panel. I know for next year I need a more stable netting as my lab has pulled the canes out 2 times, naughty girl lol
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms tbh it wasn't my girl,we have recently (2weks ago) got her sister for the family next door.and they are both playing in my larger garden.and cault the chocolate Labrador yesterday taking the canes out... Little/ large munchkins. But they happy and my neighbor has made a top to thread the canes through so if the dogs lift them out the bottom it's still drops back down. Lol fixed that one... Next dogs!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms and I do love my Lilly lops,she's my support dog as I have autism and seizures and mental health issues too,most people don't realise that I do but I do.and she helps me cope each day and night. And she makes it that I can go shopping without worrying about myself as I'm focusing on her. She's only 13 months old but since we first took her shopping at 9weeks out,she's great. She see it as play time and knows no difference and loves going to see her friend Lisa as the local Aldi where we go weekly
Thanks! I will try this when it gets cooler here. There's someone commenting that their peas turn brown & die from the root up. Sounds just like mine...which I planted in late April or May, but that's too late here in zone 10. Got some to eat, but not the harvest I wanted. Next time I'll be sure to plant them in cooler weather & fertilize lightly, as you suggest.
I'm growing peas here in Southern Ontario and so far so good. They are growing, lush and green in their grow bags. I did use a potting mix that has a moisture protector in it (from Miracle-Gro) and a good 4 inches of mulch around the plants. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will make it through to the cooler months. lol
thank you for your wisdom. i appreciate it so much. i need HELP! my peas keep getting sick!!! they keep dying from the root up! browning and crackling leaves eat the plant in a matter of cpl weeks. i have tried everything and they keep dying inevitably. what am i missing? could it really be this scorching sun and heat? how can i identify exactly what it could be and treat it? i keep having to plant new ones 5+ times in the year bc they grow fast, flower and fruit but they already started dying from the bottom up. by the time it reaches the top it maybe only gave me peas for just a couple meals. then i have to start again... can you please help me? do you read and respond to your comments? thank you!
@DoctorCrew2 thank you for your quick response!!!! 🙏 they are covered with a shade that blocks 50% of sun, and there are also partially shaded. i have treated them with hydrogen peroxide 3% and the root cleaner and green cleaner (central coast garden products), diatomaceous earth... so far but none of it is a solution. also my lavanders. im so hopeless 😔
When I plant peas, I don't usually fertilize them. The potting mix that I use has fertilizer in it. Usually, it is something like worm castings or other natural supplements. Recently, I discovered a product called Agrothrive. It can be used in multiple ways, as a soil drench, a foliar spray, and in other systems like hydroponics. I'm still experimenting with it. But, I mixed some of it in a gallon of water and put it in a spray bottle then sprayed all of the plants in my garden. Whatever was left over, I used it to water the plants. It can be used every 1-2 weeks. I'm going to try it every two weeks and go from there. I'm probably trying to grow more than what I should; so, I think adding liquid fertilize might help a bit. Last year, I didn't use any liquid fertilizer at all. I just used the long acting dry fertilizer.
Pretty jelly. My peas started dying last week. Think it was just their time. Its gotten HOT down here. Heat index in the 110s. Already started planting the 1st set of the fall harvest tho.
Interesting that Jeff. Never fertilised my peas here in the uk and have a humongous bumper crop every time. I do however feed the soil and look after my beds all year and through the winter with cover crops, homemade compost and blood fish and bone amendment. If I get a bumper crop now, it would be very interesting too see what happens if I follow your advice next year, it's too late this year. Love your videos Jeff, please keep them up. P.S. what's the association with Canada? Always wearing a beanie hat with it on? Just intrigued as a lot of my family live in Edmonton.
Your short segments are always educating! I've planted peas in MT as you suggested a while back. I placed them in the ground w/a bit of Miracle grow, some crushed egg shells, & freeze-dried bloodworms w/seaweed. I actually used that formula on my entire garden. All my plants seem content but I'll admit I've never used such a formula. I also planted a couple handfuls of soup beans/legumes after soaking them for 4 days. I've NO clue what I'll get there but they're also climbing out of the ground & onto my jute twine trellis. If they produce any thing, half the joy is NOT knowing what plant is which. Thank you tons for all the straight-up advice you provide. Cheers, ~ Covah
Do the flowers wilt and fall off? The pods develop INSIDE the flower..... Mine have tons of flowers as well..... But the pods simply haven't developed yet
could you do a video quickie on the bottled fertiliser you used there i have balance and stuff but there are 2 parts please help i dont need to be killing off stuff unnessaserraly

Thanks for the video I was thinking if the peas needed a feed but. They are doing fine cheers my friend
Right on Stuart! If they are doing good, don't mess with them! 🙂
Super video Jeff. I am harvesting sugar snap peas like crazy. I didn't fertilize but will next year for sure
Awesome Bev! When they get going, its pretty amazing eh??!
Thanks Jeff for these videos!!! I love sugar snap peas. Getting ready to plant some more seeds ready for fall tomatoes. Prayers for my hubby he is starting permanent Chemo.

Heat and moisture Patricia.....those are the two biggest things to manage with Peas. 🙂
Awesome info! Love growing peas!
Thanks Lori, me too! :-)
Ok so are fruiting fertilizers lower in nitrogen than a all purpose fertilizer .
Hi Carmella, generally, yes. Nitrogen promotes leafy and vegitative growth...
I'm growing peas here in Southern Ontario and so far so good. They are growing, lush and green in their grow bags. I did use a potting mix that has a moisture protector in it (from Miracle-Gro) and a good 4 inches of mulch around the plants.

Right on Sandy! Wishing you oodles of pea bounty!

Most likely it is the heat… drape a shade cloth over it during the hot hours
Yup. Me too.

Gotta be heat. Peas are a cool-weather crop. There's usually just no way around it unfortunately.
@@doctorcrew2388 Exactly.
Gday I’m in the middle of winter now in Australia am i too late to plant peas? Thanks for your fantastic channel. 👍🏻
I think you're ok Kev. As long as you're not below freezing, right now is actually probably ideal for Peas in your climate! 🙂
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thanks for that I’m about 50 kilometres south of Perth with no frost’s. They’re in tomorrow 👍🏻.

@0:20 I always thought legumes fixed nitrogen out of the air into the soil...

💙 my peas die out in june, in oklahoma heat. I use the dried vines for mulch around the tomatoes i plant in their place. 😉✌🏼
At least you got SOME use out of them! 🙂
Love it! My leaves have yellowed...not sure i can save them but will plant more.
Oh no! I wonder if it's temperature related or maybe over watering?

That's so awesome! I'm glad you're experimenting! Make sure to share your success with us later in the season!
I have several flowers for my peas but no pods. What should I do?
Do the flowers wilt and fall off? The pods develop INSIDE the flower..... Mine have tons of flowers as well..... But the pods simply haven't developed yet
My peas aren’t flowering 2 months in! I over fertilized with nitrogen, can you fix it??
Looks like the watering can Amazon link in the drop down doesn’t work anymore :(
