How to Grow SWEET PEAS in WINTER
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- Now that the week of really cold weather is behind us, we can finally get our English Peas planted. We usually do better with these planted in the fall, but we're trying to get a super-early start this year in the backyard garden.
We'll also be incorporating another cover crop of mustard to biofumigate our soils and provide some natural pest control for the organic garden. Join us to see how this Caliente 199 mustard differs from the Mustard Trifecta Blend that we incorporated a few weeks ago.

My heart smiles hearing about your family -- it IS a family ! I’m in my 70’s & was thinking earlier today that I cannot remember anybody really SMILING in my home when I was a kid. So, on occasion, I “steal” a smile from you & your family, since I know that on line you’re smiling at all of us. I’m sending big smiles back to all y’all! 😁
Steal all the smiles you want! We're smiling big reading this comment!
Here in 6b, old timers will say, Plant your peas on St. Patrick’s Day. If the ground is workable, that’s when I try to get mine in. Germination time is variable, but the rate is usually good. This is also when I get started on my seed starting for for warm weather crops. It’s about 8 weeks before our last frost.
I've heard quite a few folks talk about planting stuff on St. Patrick's Day. Sounds like that's a popular day for planting up your way.
I like the way you made the saying “ Pissing in the wind” PG for the younger TH-camrs 😅 Great video Tav!!
Love Peas. This year I'm mixing up seven varieties and saving pea seeds for next year. Let the best peas survive! I plant mine the same way you are doing, but I do put my trellis in first. I'm in zone 7 so I just watch when you plant and what you plant and know that is what I will need to do next. Right now I figure I'm about 5 to 6 weeks behind you, but as the season moves forward, the time frame closes up. Keep growing.
Thanks for sharing Nancy!
One of the last pictures I took of my dad was of him in his overalls, working in the garden, while he was fighting cancer. Sometimes when I get frustrated about my garden I think about him sick as can be in his garden. It gives me a boost. Dad saw it worth doing even while he was sick. So I will too.
Thanks for sharing that inspirational story Kait. That's great that he still found the energy to garden when so many things were against him.
Feels like the channel is becoming one giant family. How cool is that?❤️
Very cool!
Awwww Abrams comment 😭😭😭😭 melts a parents heart. You’re doing a great job with those boys. 🧑🏻🌾🧑🏼🌾👨🏻🌾
Thank you 🤗
Awww, man he ain't even my kid and that choked me up a bit! Y'all are raising those boys right!
Thanks Tom!
WANDO PEAS hold up better in heat than any other varietiey of English peas. Wonderful that your children are getting going with gardening early. My daughter is just getting a garden going at almost 40 and our son moved fall a year ago so that he can have a bit more garden than just in pots. Gardening is good for the soul and for character development.
I've heard good things about the Wando peas. Good to hear your children are starting to garden as well!
Aw man thats heart warming trav, your children will remember the times they helped you in the garden and what got them hooked forever! i didnt get exposed to gardening as a young buck i learned by watching channels on yt including the row by row gardening channel but one of my uncles would take me fishing with him when i was about your son titus’s age to the jetty on my profile pic and i will never forget it , been a angler ever since!! , now in my late 30’s and i thank my uncle and will never forget those times early 90’s dana point harbor!
That explains your name, "Jetty Eddie!"
@@LazyDogFarm 🙂🤙
What a wonderful story. Just shows what an awesome father you are. Travis, I'm on the border of 8b/9a and I had trouble with English peas until I started over seeding to hedge my bet. I basically plant as usual, maybe a little more generous spacing. Then a month later I come in and seed in between those plants. Then I do it again and keep repeating. I've been doing this for a couple of years with Sugar Snap Peas, from September/October until February/March, and it seems like there are almost always fresh peas in the garden. It might seem like a waste of seeds, but I started buying in bulk and have definitely gotten my money's worth.
That sounds like an excellent succession planting technique. And like you said, if you're buying in bulk you're saving on seeds anyways.
Travis , your boys are so loving and respectful to you and Brooklyn. Your garden is still looking good. God bless you for your teachings.
Thanks Ima! God bless!
I love that story. Children are a blessing.
They sure are!
Awwwe ❤ I love lil Abram
Have my peas started indoor and will be going out soon. Yes, they can be transplanted if you have deep enough pots - ffoam drinking cups are a great size as they have enough soil so you don't bind the roots. I also plant seeds when the transplants go out for succession planting. Growing Sugar Daddy, Sugar Anne, Oregon Sugar Pod, and Lincoln. Love peas, one of my favorite seasons in the garden is pea season!
Nice selection of pea varieties!
Sweet kid, dude. Nice to hear that story about Abram.
Thanks Teresa!
GO ABRAM!! Pulling on daddy's heart strings. That's how we know Mama (Brooklyn) and papa (Travis) we are doing a great job as parents. I've got a 27 yr old son. Loves his mama.
They try our patience at times, but then they remind us how sweet they can be.
Planting #9 Sweet Peas on St. Patrick's day. Zone 7B in little old Delaware.
Awesome! Sounds like St. Patty's Day is a popular pea planting day!
No need to respond, but just wanted to say another reason I really appreciate you is that you talk about varieties you've already grown. That is so helpful. It gets really old watching "seed hauls" every year where people basically show the seed packages they've just bought--and they have nothing to say really about the seeds other than why they picked them because they haven't tried them yet! That's not really helpful for us. But the way you report on your seeds is. Thank you.
Thanks! We really enjoy comparing varieties. Glad you do too!
I'm glad you're Gonna help him. That's awesome.
Looking forward to it one of these days ...
Great Video! I'm not one to comment very often on YouTtube but, I have been following you for years and always appreciate the great content and practical advice you give.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Patrick!
❤️aww, that was sweet of your son.
Well... I got the itch now. I think I am going to pull my nonproductive English Peas and try again. Maybe I'll have better luck this time.
My granddaughters asked me to help them grow some plants last spring. I went straight out and got them some containers and helped them start some flowers and easy veggies. You are right, things like that get you at your soul. I will be building them a raised bed this year and letting them pick out what they want to grow.
Great things you are doing with your granddaughters!
That’s wonderful! I have moments like
That with my grandsons. They are 7 and 5. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!
Sure does! Thanks for joining us!
I just planted snap peas and snow peas, and carrots and beets. Never planted anything in winter, I live on the Oregon coast so we are in 40s. So I was told that they should pop up when the soil warms up some. We shall see.
For the beets and carrots, make sure to keep the soil moist for at least two weeks while they germinate. They need consistent moisture for germination.
Great information. Here in Texas we just got hit with a cold front. So am doing my potatoes in bucket this year. So I had to bring them in for a little while. Don't want them to freeze. Good luck on your potatoes
Good call on bringing them inside!
It was until our puppy got an hold of them. He dig them all out. Replant time. Lol any need a puppy.
I used the string method with my indeterminate tomatoes last year. I loved it! Less disease and damage from wind. You’ve got to stay on top of pruning or you will have a mess.
Thanks for sharing that father and son moment....making memories is what it’s all about.
Yeah the pruning will probably be time-consuming, but no way to know if you like something unless you try it!
Abrams had a nice day and thoughts to follow his father.....❤️
We had a blast in the garden that morning, even though the weather was terrible.
For years I was able to grow giant pumpkins in the same plots without disease issues because every winter I grew the trifecta blend mustard cover crop. I think that says a lot too how well it works.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. That's a glaring recommendation for the process.
Man that story got me...I am sure you will help him plant a great one! Thanks for sharing.
I'm sure he'll be a great gardener when he grows up!
Love your videos!😍Thank you so much for sharing 💪Have a great week!👉🌷😁Thanks!👍542
Preciate it!
My peas will go in about March first here in SE Missouri I didn't have much luck last year first time planting.
Hopefully you have better luck this time!
Love your videos. Not a gardener but love to watch. Snellville, Ga
We appreciate you watching Julia!
that poly bailing twine works great between those t posts
Yep. That's probably what I'll do.
The best Stache is a "no till" Stache.
lol!
Awwww..what a beautiful way to end my day. That's a testament if I and others didn't watch your beautiful family, to witness how your children are appreciating what you do, just beautiful!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Your building two great little men. Keep it up.
Yes! I will plant green peas on St. Patrick’s Day (if the ground is thawed). I’m looking forward to it, and I hope yours grow well!
Good deal! We hope you grow a great crop!
I'm surprised you didn't use the seeder for the peas. It would make quick work of putting them in the furrow. Fall is your best time for peas and spring is mine. I have Oregon giant and super sugar snap peas for the spring but they won't be planted until mid April. Haven't tried either 1 before so we'll see how it goes.
I can't get the seeder to plant quite as thick as I want when it comes to peas, so I just do it by hand. We'll be using it for corn this spring though.
I enjoyed watching that! That was a nice moment with your son! I remember that as a very little kid I would always be right there if my Dad was working in the garden. For my English pea crop this year I’m going to try an edible podded pea variety. It will be interesting to see how they grow and if we like them.
That should make some good snacks while you're waiting on the pods to fill.
I want to plant some but it's going to be a cold week. Figure I need to wait. I have the same problem with weather here in Louisiana. It goes from winter to summer in 2 days
Yep. We get all four seasons in one day sometimes.
We have 8" of snow and single digits so cold and snowy on Thursday my chickens looked out and stayed inside.
Haha! Can't say I blame them!
Used a single stem string system for the past two years and will again this year. Worked impressively in 2020. So many tomatoes. Big many stems like grapes. The popular hybrids but so good. Also had less disease and easier to control insects. Last year they were a victim of east TX weather . Will be planting hybrids and heirlooms this year.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with that technique Richard!
I planted pls 595 in peat pellets about two weeks ago and I'm about to plant them on my fence line
Nice! Great variety!
Thanks for sharing 😎🏖🏝
My pleasure!!
Think I’m gonna try starting some English peas in the greenhouse too just in case. We’ve got some crazy freezing weather coming in Southeast Mississippi again this week so probably going to wait til after then to direct sow. Hopefully, I’ll get more than I did last year! I waited too late too.
Stay safe! I’m in Louisiana, north of Lake Pontchartrain and this afternoon I heard that tornado chasers (!!!) we’re headed to MS/LA for tomorrow’s bad weather. Prayers for safety!
@@mousiebrown1747 goodness! Y’all stay Safe too!! 💚
@Mimsy's Garden That's a good idea to have all your bases covered!
I have been planting Johnny's Oregon Giant snow pea, been eating from fall thru this winter, just replanted again ,see if they come up.
Nice! I need to try growing snow peas one of these days.
I will be planting a variety of Pea called Green Arrow
That's a good one too. That's probably the most popular variety. It's the one all the feed and seed stores around here carry.
Just planted English peas a few days ago. Still waiting for them to emerge. I removed the snow pea vines today and have some Chinese cabbage transplants to go in there, maybe a few beet seeds, too. I'll need the trellis for cucumbers in about six weeks.
Had my first harvest of carrots today, wow they are good after winter.
Thanks for sharing Sue and enjoy those delicious carrots!
So sweet made me all misty 😭❤
Thanks Leah!
Thank you Travis. As always, I learned a lot. Thanks for all you do Sir! Pretty sharp young man you have there as a son. I certainly will continue to harvest your knowledge for my future gardening. Thx. Chuck in Florida.
Thanks for joining us Chuck!
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge, this channel is truly amazing 🤩
Thanks a bunch Andrew!
You can start them in cell trays as well.
I thought about doing that if things were going to stay cold.
Love your videos! I’m in SE Georgia and it’s hard to find gardening advice for this area. Thank you for all that you do! You’ve probably answered this before in one of your videos, but how do you keep deer out of your garden? Doesn’t looked fenced along the perimeter and was curious. Thank you.
On camera that patch of pine trees may look large, but it's really not. With the exception of that little patch of pine trees, we're surrounded by hundreds of acres of commercial farmland. So the deer would have to walk a long ways through open spaces to get to our garden.
Watch some videos on the 3D fence it really works great
Travis, this year we planted cover crops to control root-knot nematodes as you suggested. We garden in 4 X 8 raised beds, so can't mow or plow so now we are having trouble incorporating it into to soil and prepping the bed. Any suggestions? The cover crop is about a foot tall. We tried hand pulling it and just laying it on the soil, using a small tiller, turning it with a garden fork, and just laying it over and covering it with a tarp. Nothing has worked well so far. We are senior gardeners who deal with a lot of joint pain so the physical effort required is a concern.
Do you have a weedeater or hedge shears? I would just chop and drop the vegetation right at the soil level. I'd just use a garden fork to basically flip the soil once the cover crop was cut. But I understand if your joint pain won't allow you to do that. Putting a tarp over it will extinguish it, but it takes longer.
Hey Travis. Woul you recommend rice hulls for heavy clay soil so I can plant potatoes there? Any other ideas? Thank you
I don't know anything about using rice hulls, but maybe someone on here does. A cover crop of tillage radish works great for heavy soils, but you need to plant it in the fall.
keep up the good work!
Thanks Karsyn!
Plots are looking good. I used that hanging string technique one year for my tomatoes and it worked really well. Have you decided what you are going to use for the support system? I used “T” posts and sisal twine for my set up. I like sisal because it is sturdy and will biodegrade at the end of the season.
I haven't decided on the support system yet, but will likely go with t-posts.
Zone 8B (SC low country) - planted those Johnny’s peas 2 weeks ago when it was 70 plus. Then the big freeze came along but they have germinated in the last few days! I plant in 2’ high raised beds. I don’t understand the inoculation step…can you explain?
Legumes (peas, beans, peanuts) are nitrogen-fixers. That means they're able to create their own nitrogen supply via their roots. But for that to happen, a certain type of bacteria has to be present in the soil. The inoculant provides that bacteria.
Travis, I’m thinking if I grow English peas and leave them to dry, I could store them up for split pea soup. Does that sound right? I love good thick split pea soup.
I've never let them dry. Things don't dry on the plant very well down here because of the humidity, so we always eat them fresh.
@@LazyDogFarm thanks. I’ll plan to pick when ripe then put in dehydrator. You’re such a good help! Pat yourself on the back!!!!!
PS rain. First band on N of Lake Pontchartrain. Some lightening. Not cooling much yet but it’s pushing thru kinda quick. Hang tight- question of tornadoes from here to near there today. Always bad news when stormchaser Reed Timmer is headed to your town.. Now he’s going to MS.
Going to have ice storm here tonite7b central Arkansas won't melt away till Friday night been tough year in hightunnel
Ouch! Y'all stay warm!
@@LazyDogFarm shaking ice and snow ❄ off hightunnel maybe it will cut down on pest this year
Where did you get that row making tool
We haven't had any real rain since Dec and may not be getting any until Mar. It is almost getting impossible to garden.
That's crazy. Hard to do anything with those inconsistencies.
You’re not my dad, but I’d still want you to come help me setup my garden. Might actually have some success that way. 😂
Haha! I definitely would if I could!
Grow up the string! It's the best for indeterminates!
I look forward to trying it!
This year we are trying "Mr Big" for the first time. Wonder where I heard about those????? Hmmmmmm????
Not sure. For the last year I've been working on forgetting the 8 years before that. So my memory is a little fuzzy.
💪🏽
Those okra stalks work good to lay on your straw mulch in your garlic over the winter to keep the wind from blowing it around...
Didn't think about that. That's a good idea!
It's about 55 in this video which feels like below zero to us Southern folk.
It got up to 55 by the end of the video. But it was pretty chilly at the beginning. Either way, yes that's cold for us.
Have you ever planted fava beans.? I think I spelled fava right.
Also called Lucky Beans in New Orleans, where they are often grown to donate to the Catholic Church to be blessed and given out for “blessings/luck” on St Joseph’s day. After prayers to St Joseph, Sicilians we’re saved from starvation by fava beans which grew when nothing else would grow. True history, celebrated in New Orleans and Sicily.
@@mousiebrown1747 Very interesting thanks.
@Mello D Hill Country Living I have not grown those, but they do look quite tasty!
Man
Your building two great little men! Keep it up.
Thanks Clint!
