Everything You Need to Know About Growing Peas - Seed to Kitchen
Tips, Tricks
I will show you how to: select seed, plant, grow in containers, trellis, water, harvest, common pests & diseases, freeze, prepare, and more! This is the ONLY You Tube channel where I walk you through planting from seed and how to use peas in your kitchen. I hope you enjoy this thorough video. Every year, I grow about $55.00 worth of sugar snap peas, picked at peak flavor. The best part is, the seeds only cost around $1.50! All they need from me is some water, a light side dressing of compost, and TLC. My instructional growing videos are very thorough, I don't walk outside with a transplant in hand and read to you what I found on the Farmer's Almanac website. LOL I will show you real footage from my home gardens, my experience growing a specific plant. I show you planting from seed, feeding, harvesting, problems I have had, and how I use it in the kitchen. You will not find another gardening / food channel who shows you the information you will find in my How to Grow videos.

this channel is just outstanding! Thanks for the pea freezing tips. I don't freeze much, because as a newer gardener, I'm just now starting to get to the point of having enough to feed my family fresh. It takes a few seasons to get to the point of mastering staggered planting, garden organization, and realizing how many plants it takes to feed a family! Should all veggies be blanched prior to freezing?

What an incredible video, you really did a great job. I have been having problems with rats eating everything. Initially, I though it was the crows eating my garden but it was rats. They manage to get though the Fencing wire' cages I built. Now, I built cages with fencing wire for backing, and chicken wire wrapped around it for the rats. The mix is nice and portable too. This is a great way of stoping deer, elk, crows and now rats too. Chicken wire is really cheap and effective at stopping a lot of animals, such as rabbits. Wrap each pot or small plot in wire. CORN has been a nightmare, but now I wrap the container tops with wire, it is working. They love the kennels. Thanks for the tips, I really learnt a lot.
My Mother has hundreds of rabbits on her property that have dug tunnels everywhere. We watch them mate at dinner time, it is hilarious. Non stop too. She has been battling them with chicken wire, you must go underground too. Good luck. -
Thank you for your lovely video. It's Autumn here and we have some 2week old pea shoots growing in our garden. Do you prune yours at all to encourage more branches? We have planted some before but they only got very leggy and didn't produce much. I'm wondering if pruning them would help. Thank you :)

Wow you live in a really warm climate.. my last frost is May 1st. Can I plant them early - ie before first frost?
-
Adding to favorites list for reference. Thank you! Wonderfully done video!

Thank you for sharing your video, do you know if the sugar snap peas can be grown indoors and kept indoors and still produce peas?
I live in a very cold climate, where our winters are very long and I'm in an apartment where my balcony faces the sun all day during our warmer months. So I want to start them on the balcony and then in Sept, move them indoors and hope they will still give me peas. Thank you for any info. :) -
I thought about this video while munching on (store bought) sugar snap peas this morning. I can't wait for my own to be ready for harvest.

I'll put the them in egg shells as soon as they start sprouting -

Very informative. Thanks. I am growing the same peas. Since I am in zone 9b, I am almost over with the harvest. Do you think I can get a second harvest of the peas if I don't pull them from the soil? I was able to get the second harvest with blue lake bean.

Thank you for such an informative video!

What State are you in? Trying to see how Michigan would compare to your planting recommendations. Thank You.
