Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)
G'day Everyone, firstly thanks for your support! I didn't elaborate much on the "price" of snow peas in this video but as an afterthought, I do think it is worth saying that even when in season this vegetable is expensive to buy from the supermarket. You might find them cheaper or more expensive but conservatively they cost around $20 AU per kg (2 lbs) on average and that is significant so definitely worth growing as a cost-saving alone! Anyway, just thought I'd mention that... Also, feel free to check out my website I'm in the process of improving my site and this should be complete within the next several weeks. I am slowly developing a "support page" where I log all the products and "stuff" I use and promote as a way to help keep my channel, blog, and forum going and thus keep creating content as relying on TH-cam alone is a fickle and unstable business model lol... selfsufficientme.com/support-self-sufficient-me Finally, I've been reading and receiving more than usual messages lately from people who are finding it hard to cope during the current issues facing the world. Gardening might not fix these problems but it can help you better manage the stress they cause so please - Get Into It! Cheers :)
👍
I’m growing some mammoth melting snow peas right now so this video came in handy, thanks! I agree that gardening will not solve the current stresses of the world right now but can help manage them. Having a hobby like this really helps your outlook and connection to nature
Looks like you dropped some kg’s
Do you think you could ever do a video on different soil types? I know you have done videos on clay soil, but in particular my yard has extremely rocky soil, and It's simply impractical to dig all of those rocks outs, I'm talking like 3-4 mini rocks per handful of soil! Does this impact any growth of vegetables and if so, which ones and which ones may not mind it? I think it would be a very interesting topic to discuss. Good video as always!
*MARK!!! Do you have an email we can send you question on our garden?*
My snow pea just kept growing this year, with no flowers. I did some research and discovered that I fertilised the bed at the wrong time and there was probably too much nitrogen. It was suggested that I add potash to trick them into flowering. I experimented and added pot ash to one side of the snow pea bed. In a day the flowers came out on that side. I thought this might be handy to someone out there.
wow, thank you so much!!
Yes, thank you! I have apparently “loved” my peas a little too much with the fertilizer...💜
I learned two things. Second was how to pronounce 'potash.' Thanks
Yes very handy thanks

☮️RIP Steve... his enthusiasm for crocs and gators was/is infectious and I live in Florida! I think Mark is very much like Steve not because he’s Australian but because he has so much enthusiasm for his garden that it really makes me feel like I can grow anything too... so thank you Mark for your constant and infectious gardening vids... we CAN do it too AND together we CAN change the current vibes of the planet from dread to world peas...🌱☮️🌱
Yes! He also reminds me of Russell Crowe, another Aussie.

You're spot on !
After 13 years of a toxic marriage, Ive been on my own since November. I never though I would be a gardner, but apparently growing plants has been the best therapy ever, 😆
Started with a single plant on the porch. That grew into dozens of houseplants and even more outside.
Then the food gardening began. Its only been a few months now of growing veggies, but I am proud when I have peopke over, because everything is growing so well. And I owe almost all of it to your videos. I googled a vid on carrots I think and found your channel. You really have a natural gift for teaching in an amazing way. I just wanted to say thanks for doing these and I fully intend to start at the beginning and watch every single one.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yes, gardening is the best therapy. Prayers for total healing ❤️🩹
I can't decide if I'm married to my garden or my dogs, either way, everyone is happy.
Totally relate to you! ❤️
Blessings

Yeah and the : "thats the peas-iness"

Great video, Mark! A while back my husband came home from the gardening store with seed packets including (among other things) peas. Okay, I thought, you don't like peas and tend to pick around them in stir fry and other dishes, but whatever. To my surprise, he's been intensely interested in the growing process and has apparently decided that training the vines up through the trellis is his personal responsibility. (Works for me, as the shorter of the two of us. 😄)
And to my surprise, apparently he loves eating peas if he's grown them himself. Next time we're going to plant twice as many rows and also do better on the succession planting.
That's pretty cool! We have another convert to the joys of food gardening (and homegrown eating) lol... Cheers :)
That's the way it went with my kids and tomatoes :-)
I think most kids (also) will eat what they help grow.
i love them raw in salads or just pick and eat too!
I always disliked peas, but I grew some for my mother when I first began to garden because they were easy to grow in a pot and produced quickly. Was I ever stunned to discover I love peas, if fresh from the garden! I had no idea they are so sweet and delicious and taste nothing like the ones I had previously tasted. That made me determined to grow every vegetable I thought I didn't like in order to see if the same thing happened. Well, I still dislike radishes and beets, but everything else has been great. Indeed, Asian eggplant is now a favorite vegetable, along with fava beans. I now try anything exotic or in an unusual color, it's so much fun! It's not the time I invested that turned me around; it's the fact that there is a big taste difference for some things, but everything tastes better, in general. Not everything is radically different, but even sweet corn, which is still pretty terrific when store bought, is better home-grown.
Dried or dehydrated peas make a great addition to soups and stews. I really love that you mentioned fermentation, not only as a way of storing produce, but also a great way of enhancing the flavor and feeding our gut biome. So many things that most Americans eat destroys their gut biome and so few things restore it as well as naturally fermented foods.
Hear hear yes great advise.
these snow peas are the most insane survival food, survives cold, you can eat them as they are, you can let them dry right o nthe plant right into seeds, and save those to eat (in cold harsh winter..... trust me...) or grow again.
@@dfgdfbsdfvv832 Agreed, and ways to eat stored dried peas include sprouts or young greens. Yum!
I grow my peas on my fence. Fence is there, might as well make use of it!
Many common misconceptions about legumes and nitrogen. To set it straight, based on reliable botanical research papers:
1. they need a source of bacteria if peas were grown in that spot in the prior couple of years they should get the bacteria promptly, if they are growing for the first time in a few years and you have not added inoculate powder they will be slow to develop the bacteria root nodules and will need additional nitrogen fertilizer. Each genus of legume generally needs a different species of bacteria, so growing peas after clover won't help the peas form nodules.
2. The bacteria live inside root nodules and the nitrogen produced is taken up directly by the pea. The N is not fixed freely in the soil and is not readily available to any other plants. The only significant N contribution to the soil and other plants occurs from composting the pea plants. [inB4] Yes, sensitive tests with tracer elements have shown N transfer between roots in intimate contact, however it is a minuscule amount that is insignificant to normal plant growth. Part of the issue aside from the N being fixed inside the root nodules is that it is ammonical N, legumes have evolved plenty of the enzymes needed to process ammonical N while most plants have more limited ability to use ammonical N and generally wait for other soil bacteria to convert it into nitrate N before absorption.
3. N is not the only nutrient that plants need, and while legumes place low demands on soil N they often want higher than average P, K, Mg, Ca, S, And many of them do not like lower pH soils, probably because it messes with the nodule bacteria.
4. The partitioning of N varies between different legumes and often a large portion of the N is removed in the harvested portion (N is used for protein). The roots of an annual like peas may have very little N per acre while the tops have substantial amounts but only if dug under while fresh and green, if allowed to mature to dryness like soup beans or peanuts then most of the N is transferred into the harvested seed which can provide a high value crop without further depleteing soil N but they also don't contribute much net gain in soil N. A perennial like alfalfa and certain clovers will contain a much larger amount of N in the root residue and only modest amounts in the stubble(assuming it was mowed for hay). The reason soybeans are rotated with corn is less about the minor N addition and more about breaking disease and pest cycles by alternating a grass with a broad-leaf plant and the climate and economics of the two crops being compatible. On the economic side soybeans are planted when N is expensive simply because they don't need additional N, not because it contributes significant residue for a following corn crop, more acres in soy also reduces supply of corn which can help correct both surplus corn production and decrease N demand(lowering the price.).
I have been binge-watching you for days and I must say your content is fantastic. Informative and educational, straight-talking as you practically demonstrate with no hint of condescension or trying to sell you something. And no click-bait thumbnails. Excellent, just excellent. This is what should be taught in our schools.
I agree
"Mark, intro take one!"
Mark, "Let's pea into it!"
"Take two!"
Mark, "Let's get pea'd. Or is that pissed?"
"Take three!"
Mark, "Let's snap into it."
"Okay, take a pea! I mean take five! Ugh."
Had me laugh at them all 🤣🤣🤣. Great video👍👍

Now I know why I've never liked snow peas. They're never crunchy in the supermarket. I've only had the sad floppy ones
Ive been saving my own snow pea seeds for several years they can grow a few meters tall
They are growing well with my tomatoes this year :)
Ive tried growing them all over my garden and yes they can take some snow or light frosts i live in Ontario and i can vouch for them living through some light snow
FERMENTATION RECIPE:
I'll give you all a quick recipe that I've used for years-
- Mason or fido jar, screw top jar of any size.
- Brine: 1.5 teaspoons kosher or other non-iodized salt per cup of purified water, and do not use tap water. Just mix the water until the salt dissolves, no heating. You will use whatever amount of this brine until it covers your veggies.
- Pack the jar extremely tightly with your rinsed peas, you don't want them floating in the brine. Pack until the jar has an inch or two of headspace, otherwise the jar might overflow.
- Pour the brine over the veggies until they are fully submerged. Add a large pinch of red pepper flakes (my favorite), or whatever spices you want. You can add whole or sliced garlic cloves, black peppercorns, whatever you want to flavor it.
- Use a fermentation weight if you can, otherwise don't worry. Seal your jar completely and twice a day just lightly unscrew or open your jar to allow carbon dioxide / carbonation to leave the jar. Do not peek inside, just let the co2 escape and reseal. You should see bubbles developing in and around the pea pods by day two or three.
- After 5 days, put the jar in the fridge. It will continue to very slowly ferment there for months or years, but your peas by now have enough lactic acid developed to be preserved and safe.
- If you see mold or yeast development on top of the brine after 5 days, just toss it unless you know what you're doing.
- If you have any questions about the process, visit the /r/fermentation subreddit on the website Reddit.com. This is an extremely helpful community that will help you learn how to ferment anything and everything.
Il Papa WOW! Thank you so much for taking the time to pass this knowledge along... VERY HELPFUL 🧐💜😊
I really appreciate when you show spiders and other critters ‘protecting’ your garden. I still jump and run away when I find one but I’m working on seeing them as signs of life in a symbiotic relationship, but it’s hard sometimes!
I noticed that he used a twig to move the spider. Good plan…
You guys do have some big critters! A huntsman fixed my hate for our little tiny spiders over here! Blessings from Across the ditch!
My hubby isn't scared of them, thank goodness 😅 He'll get the spider areas for me. Also, ones found on the porch and in home he'll move them somewhere... Doesn't warn me where 😂 I'm assuming he's putting them in the veggie garden.
My wife and I used to have a running conversation on weather snow peas or sugar peas were best. But now we've done it so long neither can remember which side the other side was for
Hahaha
Sugar peas just can’t grow enough to be ready to can
It's easy: whichever you just picked 😁
@@tessasilberbauer6219 true! both are great
Sugar daddies!😄
Perfect! I got myself an arched trellis for my snow peas. Hope mine grow as successfully as yours! I reckon they will after watching this vid 👌
I am growing snow peas for the first time in my south Louisiana raised bed garden. I just stuck some pea seeds in the ground and they grew like crazy!!! I have about a 4 foot line of them and harvested about 3 handfuls today! I ate a few raw and am going to steam them for supper!!!
I would love to see your fermented vegetable recipe. YUM!
This is my first year of growing fruit&veg myself.
Peas are one of the easiest, and most producing crops I have in the garden. As Mark said, they can grow pretty well in containers.
Excellent video. Love your content. I retired 12 months ago and have the time and space to expand beyond my usual 6 tomato and 2 basil plants!!! I now have cukes , habaneros , spinach , radish, carrots and onions for a fall crop in Ca.
Mark...Texas Native here growing TONS of food myself. I just wanted to pop in and say how much I love your show just for the fellowship. Keep rocking, brother! 😎🤟🏼🇺🇸
G'day Christopher and thanks mate! Much appreciated! All the best :)
This is my first year with my official garden. I'm learning so much from you! Thank you so much! I was so afraid I planted too many peas. They all came up. I only had a net for them to climb on but I will go get the metal grading. Thanks again, happy planting!😎 BuilderSue
I can't believe you aren't using lady bugs for aphids. The first year I gardened, I had thousands of aphids so I bought lady bugs. They didn't just take care of my garden - they took care of my neighbor's garden too. She said I am amazed we don't have aphids this year. I said - you can thank me for that : ) Even in the harsh Wisconsin weather, they came back year after year.
The cost of snow peas now in Western Australia is $30 a kilo! I decided to grow them when I couldn’t afford to buy them and thanks to your tips I’ve got snow peas for my family and many others I’ve shared around with! So thrilled and was my first time ever growing peas and my first plant growing in a different climate to what I’m use to
Wow, that's a lot of Peas! I have always only grown a few pea plants at a time and not one pod has made it into the house as I eat them while tending to the garden :) Next spring I will try this variety and put a lot more of them. THANKS!
I live in Melbourne Florida which I believe has a very similar climate as you do. I do most of my gardening in the fall/winter months. To hot and humid here in the summer. Peas are one of my favorite veggies. I already have my seeds ready and waiting for fall. I will also be growing in raised beds. I would also be interested in seeing a video on how to preserve them. Always enjoy your videos. Keep em coming.
You know Mark, I live in a small studio apartment by San Francisco, California. My landlord won't even allow me to have a window box, but I just love watching your videos and I could watch them all day. Hopefully some day I'll be able to afford a place with a yard so I can put some of your excellent advice to work. I might even get a dog too. All the best to you!
I was able to grow microgreens and herbs on the kitchen countertop.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hopefully you can try and grow something inside by a sunny window! Basil, rosemary, or try sprouting! It's fun!
Your comment made me so 😔 😔 sad
@@Dragon-wl5ic Don't be! I live here by choice because I love it even though I do have to make some compromises. I appreciate the sentiment though. Cheers!
I always interspersely plant all my crops with onion and/or garlic as I find it helps keep pest bugs away very effectively.
You have been a great resource since I started Gardening & I have my own tip for you that I have learnt since..
Foliar feed with Bamboo Vinegar & compost tea.
Complex wood vinegars helps repel pest and helps fight fungal infections while aiding in the absorbtion of the compost tea, but it's not a biocide. This just helps the plants fight off the infection itself. The compost tea acts like an IV drip of nutrition & helps strengthen the plant while reducing the need to run irrigation.
Using wood vinegar replicates the effect of the smoke from a fire event within a natural ecology. This has the benifit of producing more nutrient dense crops as well & allows your plants to put more energy into their root systems.
This reduces the amount of soil prep required, allowing you to save labour and redirect resources. I just add biochar charged with worm castings, & some rock dust & produce my own mulch through chop and drop between croppings. The primary substrate I use for worm bedding isn't even manure- its hardwood sawdust & works just as well
I haven't had to irrigate or directly water since July of last year using this system. The water retention in the soil & the foliar feeding once a week is enough for our plants to thrive.
I use Bamboo because it's high in Silica & bamboo produced alot of biomass fast, but other wood vinegars works as well & is relatively easy to produce on site.
I love how every week he get more and more into his pickling hobby and brings us along with him on his journey.
I'm impressed, and I love them too! I'll plant some after the August heat dies down here in Florida.
The fun of watching pea plants grow and climb is a reason by itself to give them a go. The plants with hands!

Hi Mark from the San Diego outback, and thanks for another fine and informative video! Parts of the vid (about aphids and other plant pests and diseases) again remind me to ask if you have experimented with using Neem oil (spray)or Neem leaves (decoction spray or as mulch). Years ago when I was able to garden I found it to be perfect against white flies, spider mites, aphids and other pests, especially because it's totally non-toxic (people can and do eat the leaves). I think that Neem may even be helpful against plant diseases, but don't know. Well, I sure wish that someone (hint hint) would do some experimenting with it in his garden; it could be a real boon to gardeners and farmers everywhere. Anyway, keep up the great work Mark!
Thank you for this. I’m about to plant peas for a fall/early winter harvest in US (GA).
The pea plant has aided civilization for many millenia. Given a good environment they just want to grow. Nearly every part of the plant is edible. Pea leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. I'd eat the flowers if not waiting patiently for pods. Seeing this video I'm going to branch out and grow snowpeas, too. I say this as I cook a pot of split pea soup and watch my indoor pea plants reach for the ceiling. You can almost watch them grow!
An interesting note for anyone familiar with the Eastern Redbud tree, native to the Americas. It is a true legume that produces edible pods that taste like snowpeas when picked young and green. We pick bushels of them and freeze them each year, after a quick blanching.
How many harvests did you end up getting ? I'm getting one every ten days for about 2 months now. Care to share your results please ?
*Forget Elon Musk... if anyone can terra-form Mars it's Mark!* 😎👍
Australia spiders are trying to take out me boy. Its war.
Goodness.. It seems I've done everything wrong growing my peas this year. It's my first time growing a vegetable garden (except those few carrots and radishes I grew as a kid perhaps :) ). I grew my peas on a soil very rich in clay, didn't give them any fertilizer, they didn't have enough airflow, they got powdery mildew which I discovered way too late, and I harvested what little pods I had by pulling them off with my hands. I've let them grow bigger and only kept the peas and not the whole pods because that's how they are usually eaten where I'm from. But in this whole year, having grown about 30 plants, I've got barely half a meal of good size peas. Many of the pods looked so bad (because of powdery mildew probably) that I didn't dare use them. I've had tons of tomatoes though :) Anyway, I've read somewhere else that powdery mildew can be solved by using a "compost tea". Any idea what that author meant? Is it a tea made from tea leaves that were already used before (basically a very weak tea) or a kind of "tea" made by steeping actual compost in water (seems unlikely to me though)?
Love snow peas my mom gave me a packet of seed 2 yrs ago which she bought yrs ago and every single seed grew. It was awesome, the only issue I had was I didn’t have a tall enough trails.
Mark, do you have any videos on fermentation and preserving? I'm hoping to get some good harvests from my garden when it starts producing and since I live on my own I can't eat it all, so I need to learn to preserve, would love to see some good videos on the process.
Couldn't be more pea-leased with the timing of this release, my peas are putting out their first pods. Excited to plant a winter crop as well!
😁
Same here.
Same! I was starting to think those vines were a bust but then the prettiest flowers and the cutest pods started appearing last week! I counted 8 today...waiting to see how big they get, and whether the rest of the vines will produce. :)
Your garden is a dream! What a beauty!!! And, you can freeze your fresh peas up to 6 months and they will preserve their flavor and nutrients. Love your channel man! Keep up the great job.
I'm going to attempt growing snow peas for the first time this year. Thanks for the great info on them. I just got into fermenting recently and am excited to try the peas that way!
Hi Mark, thanks for sharing the wisdom. Can you show us your fermentation recipes please?
Lovely looking at your crop as I'm hiding inside the house from the excessive heat. Makes me have hope for my garden in the future. "There's always next year!"
So hilarious, you roll through jokes without even stopping.
I grow snap peas and love to lunch on them straight out of the garden.
Me too...and my toddler seems to get most of that tomatoes too.
My work co-gardener likes to grow peas at work so her dog doesn't eat the lot. The dog drools in expectation of pea harvest while she plants at home.
I see you are still a celerac manac, I'm a celeriac maniac personally 😂🤣😊😸
That milk remedy is old school. I use it on my gooseberry if they get a mildew. My grandad used this idea last century.
You can also use eco-fungicide. Cheers :)
I guess vegan milk won't work, huh xD
Would the aspirin spray work here or just milk
Thank you especially for the tip about watering at the roots.Ive loved Snow Peas since childhood, my Mother being British but born in Japan. Im afraid to put up a metal trellis in Florida where the temps can be 90- 100+.
In America, the peas are small. I never saw peas so big as when I was shelling them in India 😂😂😂
Chelsealynnism smaller the sweeter
Are you sure they weren’t just green chickpeas
Peas are used in cooking. The sweet ones are flat in shape and do not fit in curries. They need to be round, green and plump.
We preserve peas by blanching and freezing it. Works well. Even for 6 months.
The fun of watching pea plants grow and climb is a reason by itself to give them a go. The plants with hands!
Depends I have been growing them this year and most are as big as this
Thank you always love your videos an humorous ways! From Indiana in the USA
*Florida Weather says hold my beer.
I hope you guys are ok and the hurricane isn't as bad - fingers crossed - we're following it here in Oz...
Self Sufficient Me Thanks so much, we are on the South West lowest corner of the Peninsula, so far it looks like it will be traveling up the east coast of the state. The side we are on which faces the Gulf Mexico is usually more quiet.
Have you given any thought to trying No Dig on any of your beds?
I'm getting slightly better crops for significantly less effort by going No Dig on a couple of beds & will cease digging the rest of my beds from now on. I'll just add 2" of home made compost on top of the soil once a year from now on.
I'm growing snowpeas, they were going great until the gusty winds we had in Brisbane last week bashed them around a bit. Even though they were on a trellis. Will have to tie down to the trellis like you suggest in case we get more of those Ekka winds in the coming weeks. Thanks Mark.
Yes those winds Nicola can be terrible on our crops here... Cheers :)
@@Selfsufficientme you got mentioned a couple of times on Costa Georgiadis live stream this morning, couple of us told him he should check you out, he said he would.
Hi.... .....Mark, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👋👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🌱🐴🎥👍👍👍
I never liked peas until i grew my own. I love them straight off the plant. I love when my grans come over and we hit the pea patch. They think it’s cool to eat them. thanks for all the information. This is really going to help my garden. Thanks for your videos!
True! So many veggies taste better homegrown - thank you Nancy! :)
I too would love a video on your fermentation/sauerkraut method for veggies. Even thought I am in a different growing zone (UK) I find your videos useful and entertaining.
I love snow/snap peas! So easy to grow and the harvest is always bountiful. Also delicious for snacking. I prefer them uncooked. I have a few varieties growing in my container garden. Thanks for the tips Self Sufficient Me.
Bumper Green Beauty snow pea crop this year in US zone 7b (even with some groundhog losses), just planting buckets with "just-right" soil and drip irrigation. Looking forward to a smaller Fall crop if I can keep the animals away.
You inspire me every year to get cracking in my garden :) im in South Australia and just planted out a full seed tray of mammoth melting snow peas i save the seed from and regrow every year ... Great job Mark and fantastic looking row of peas . ( ps this year my direct sown ones also escaped the mice so im going to have a ton of peas too !
Couldn't be more pea-leased with the timing of this release, my peas are putting out their first pods. Excited to plant a winter crop as well!
Holy shit that spider was huge!
I already respect this guy because of his gardening. That he's doing this in australia makes it even more amazing.
*Tess* What are you talking about? That was just a Huntsman spider - they won't hurt you. See the way he just shunted it out of the garden bed and it ran away. Australia is an amazing place and not as scary as some of you people seem to think. But don't tell everyone, we want to keep this place to ourselves to enjoy!
Thank You . Such a beautiful presentation and so clear and informative. This very northern New Yorker is hooked : ). Namaste
The dad puns were strong in this one. He doesn’t skip a beat when he makes the joke either, just keeps on moving through his script. Bravo, man. Bravo
I remember looking at the spider being like “aw cute” and totally uncontrollably freaking out when it moved lols
Hi, could you please point out some trusty online seed companies that i can buy from, recently i wasn't lucky in my choices. Ive been following the channel for a while great video content and lots of helpful tips ... viewer from Lebanon.
That's a hard one because you really should source locally if possible as trying to import seed is often difficult due to customs laws etc. What I would do (if you find it hard to source seeds online etc) is buy produce from the local markets and regrow from the saved seeds or sprouting kitchen scraps. You will be surprised at how much good free produce you can create this way. All the best and thanks for supporting my content :)
The seed collection
Green Harvest
Boondie seeds
These are online companies where I bought my seeds from. The seeds are good and they did germinate as well from The Seed Collection and Green Harvest. As for Boondie Seeds I just bought the seeds and will try next year.
The Seeds Collection is good for it's price as it's very cheap compared to other online stores and it's free shipping for over $20 I think. They have flower seeds as well.
Good luck.
@@godonlylovesme1638 Thanks alot much appreciated👍
Hey Mark, It's 2022..I'm about to start my snow peas. I have not been successful growing them here but, I have never grown them in the fall either. Now, did you do a video of the fermentation? Or, can you do one for us?
‘That’s what I’m talkin about’ haha totally pealicous!
When you think about it, seems only natural that snow peas thrive ‘down under’: after all, Australia did start out as Britain’s ‘PEA-nal colony’…thank you, tip your waitress: i’ll be here all week!
Love your videos! For whatever reason growing peas was a challenge until last year and the crop was bountiful. Love your set up
Always makes me 😂, inspires 🧐 and motivates me improve my garden 👩🏻🌾. I also love how you promote composting-the 🐛 🐛 🐛 always revive--they are perfect denominator
😉💚🌞
Thank you,

A few more weeks and I'm dropping snow peas in the ground for fall harvest. One of mine and my son's favorites from the veggie garden.
Love love love your accent! And your videos. Always so informative! Thank you for all of your advice! I learn something new all the time.
Seriously. Uploaded at 1am Sunday morning..
Lol and I'm watching it 🤣
Thank you :)
Like this bloke; so down to earth, not trying to be a celebrity gardener.
Never spray your plants with a detergent soap, like the kind to do dishes or clothes. Horticultural soap is a different thing altogether. You can buy bulk Horticultural soap and mix any food grade oil, as well as a Horticultural wetting agent, to make your own Horticultural soap spray. Detergent soap will do more damage than good.

Nah not true nothing wrong with using your biodegradable dish washing liquid
Dr Bronners (usa) is true Castile soap rather than detergent, and can be used on plants, for what it's worth. I think there's a recipe on the label, if you can find it. Probably true horticultural (edit) soap is better.
The main difference is that they select the length of fatty acid chains for different purposes, some lengths are more harmful to plants and some are more harmful to insects.
I LOVE you! I have been watching your channel now for about 3 weeks or so. I LOVE Snow peas, in stir fry. I eat alot of Stir fry. This will be my second year growing Snow peas. I did not know they were a cool season crop. The first time I grew them in the spring into summer. This time I am ready! Thank you for all your tips. You are AMAZING!
You should rename your channel, “Gardener” featuring Brussel Growe
🤣
For only being in my late 20’s i consider myself an advanced gardner. Always learn good info from your vids, but preservation is something I’m not to cultured in. Thanks for the awesome info at the end about lacto preservation
Hi Mark, wanted to ask if I'm growing intermediate tomatoes in a warm climate, how long can I keep the plant since there's no frost whatsoever where I live. Lots of love.
I want to know too!!
Until it does? Lol
@@dana102083 Well the general consensus is that the plant will die once frost comes, and unlike the determinate variety it never stops growing. So I'm curious as to how long my plant can last in my climate where it's sunny all year round, with no frost at all.
@@gwchong hey, honestly i thought they were true annuals..what do i know being in canada, hah! Foot in mouth..thank you! I will test it out in my new indoor grow room with LEDs :)
@@dana102083 I'm half guessing here too haha, hope your plants do well!
You can here in usa buy lady bugs from a nursery and thaw them out in garden . They LOVE TO EAT APHIDS !
"Here in our winter time" (Sun shining, wearing a teeshirt, birds singing)
boy do i envy you.
Also fantastic videos. love your attitude towards challenges and problems you explain from practical experience. Not everything is translatable to canadian growing seasons but a lot is.
🇨🇦same here.
Officially my favorite dad joke garden show! Your garden is amazing and your rhyming puns are even better!!!
Good day loves!
😄good day!
Growing some in my garden this year. Pray for the Lord's blessing for me! God bless.
I love snow peas. I planted only 8 seeds in my little garden, I’m surprised it grew...it was an experiment. For the last few weeks, I harvested 4 lots, enough for my family & enough to cook for stir fry & add to Asian soup. I love it crunchy 😋. I’ll try to grow it again, next season....more seeds to grow for big harvest to give away to family & friends 🤗.
Very helpful information you are providing.Highly appreciated
I freak out when i saw that spider,there's nothing like that where im at in canada
Yeah we don't have thase where I live in oregon in the USA either. We've got a few smaller ones that can be pretty nasty though.
Lol. We have them everywhere down in Victoria. My number 1 hate are huntsman.
He was in my way when sowing that seed and I didn't think he would appreciate my big finger coming towards him so I kindly moved the fella on... Cheers :)
Hi! We love your videos! My snow peas are getting hit and I couldn’t see what you mixed in your spray. Was it neem oil?
I’m enjoying them right now. I’ve had a good crop this year (must protect from wallabies and possums) . To keep the nitrogen in the soil should I just cut the stems at the end of the season and plant a new crop on top?
Good tip! Cheers :)
Thank you, another fantastic learning video. You are amazing and so enjoyable to watch.
The law came by Moses but TRUTH and Grace through Jesus(John 1:17).....for this cause came He into the world that He may bare witness to the TRUTH(John 18:37).....God is Spirit and those who worship must worship in Spirit and in TRUTH(John 4:24).....the will of God is that all men be saved and come into the knowledge of TRUTH(I Timothy 2:4)......there are those who are ever learning but never coming into the knowledge of the TRUTH(II Timothy 3:7)......He will send strong delusion for those who have not a love for the TRUTH(II Thessalonians 2:10,11)......acknowledging the TRUTH which is after Godliness(Titus 1:1) ......and add to Godliness brotherly kindness and to brotherly kindness charity(2 Peter 1:7)
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the TRUTH, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgement and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the TRUTH in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Jesus as a service and church as something to go to is of doctrines of devils and seducing spirits
brought to only by wolves, hirelings and heretics. Hardening hearts and paralyzing the body of Christ.
His house in not a house built with hands.
Catholicism is the mother of harlots, structures created by demons that simply do not want to be cast out.
God will pour out His holy Spirit on any upper room full of sanctified, holy believers in unity! We are to be walking and operating in the gifts and offices of the Holy Ghost! Combating the kingdom of darkness in our own strength is exactly what the enemy wants us to do
UNITY ~KJV Daniel 4:27; 12:3 Job chapter 29 Isaiah chapters 1 and 58 Zechariah 7:5-10 Psalm 109:6-16 Parable of the Sheep and goats, the rich man and the beggar Lazarus
WATER BAPTISM OF REPENTANCE AND REMISSION OF SIN
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he lives, he lives unto God. (The least of these)
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses
Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Acts 19:4-6 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Acts 8
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
There are so many new testament scriptures about GOOD WORKS:
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
II Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in RIGHTEOUSNESS:
17That the man of God may be PERFECT, thoroughly furnished unto all GOOD WORKS.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your GOOD WORKS, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to GOOD WORKS:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Acts 10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which GAVE MUCH ALMS to the people, and prayed to God alway.
Acts 9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of GOOD WORKS AND ALMSDEEDS which she did.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
II Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every GOOD WORK.
There are so many others, and in psalms and proverbs. The bible is so saturated with God desiring mercy over sacrifice and all that I ever hear anyone say is that we are not saved by works.
James 2
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

i need like 16 bags of frozen peas a month, or 192 bags per person a year.. is it feasible to grow that amount for the year in a balanced garden, in little space, in like quarter acre or less.
I like snow peas, but don't love them, however I still grow them. Do you steam them or eat raw in a salad? I know you ferment and I've seen your fermentation video. I've been fermenting zucchini, green pepper & garlic all together for about 4 weeks and today I opened it up and gagged 🤢 I couldn't bring myself to eat it so fed it to the chickens. They gave me the stink eye so not sure if they will eat it. I would like a more in depth video on fermenting, maybe how long, do you move to the fridge at some point, how do you know you did it right ha ha. I had to air out the house it smelled so bad and the family told me I'm not allowed to ferment anymore😂
Man I wish I lived somewhere that was warm year round i only have 3 months to grow the things I want and I feel so limited
