South Carolina, here.
I had a bunch of old snow pea seed from my stash last season. So I germinated some in my heat bed to see how well they would do. They all sprouted!
So I planted them out, somewhere in February. Well they grew, and lasted all through the winter.
They survived the cold, and we had a few nights down into single digits.
Then, when spring came, they took off and produced. I now consider them one of my fall and winter staples.

I'm embarrassed to admit that the consecutive planting of snow peas in my garden are for me to snack on when I'm gardening. They never make it inside the house 🤣

I'm growing Cascadia bush peas. The pods are edible according to Ed Hume. I've grown bush peas in the past; but, where I live the hot weather comes in July. I planted my peas in May after the snow had gone away. It took the peas about a week or two before the sprouts started popping through the soil. I planted two different types of bush beans at the same time. Both peas and beans have flowers; but, so far that's about it. I'm really wanting fresh peas and beans this year.

I grew my tomatoes from seed and they are still not very tall. But, it's too late for me to get tomato plants from the garden center. We had a couple 90 degree days in June; but, it didn't really warm up until now. I'm hoping we have a late frost so that my tomatoes, cucumbers, and peas and beans produce.

The collards and kale are doing pretty good; but, I think the earwigs are getting to them.

I absolutely love peas. They are so awesome and easy to grow. I didn’t realize that they are a fruit. I love learning new stuff everyday. Have a happy Sunday Jeff and everyone.

Sorry I can't be at the chat Jeff, but I'll watch the replay. I planted Alaska Peas this year for the first time. I bought them from Baker Creek. They are frost hardy and will grow well in U.S. zone 3a. We are in 4a I have never grown peas that have climbed so high. We have one trellis that is 5 foot high and these peas are 2 foot plus beyond that. The pods are 2 inches long with 5 or 6 peas inside. They may be short, but man there are a huge amount of pods! Hanging like grapes. Have you ever experienced peas like that. We have grow peas every year, but nothing like these. I did notice that they do need some shade. The one trellis gets a lot of sun during the day and that group needs daily watering. The other group gets half the sunshine and needs less water. Take care!

Thank you for your step-by-step videos! You have a great vibe & I am learning so much! Thanks a bunch!!!

Thanks for another educational video. I'm supposed to be resting my shoulder till I see the ortho the morrow, but we had a massive thunder storm last eve and till today I haven't been in my garden since I got hurt last Saturday. All kinds of things are happening in my garden, including we're having way too much windy rain on 5 of 8 eves which I fear is bad for some of my plants.
You asked me to keep you updated on my 15 pea & bean soup experiment in the garden. Thus far they're shooting for the sun....especially my sunflower's stalks which have grown over a foot since last wknd. I have NO clue what these little miracles are going to do. I'm just having a blast being in the center of this ever-growing world. Oh yeah, I picked my 1st Gypsy pepper today too. Its still a lime color, but its almost 5" long & I thought the Mum plant deserved a holiday. Take care, ~ Covah

Here in the PNW slugs can decimate direct planted peas in the spring. I haven't had any issues transplanting, and then once I know those are taking off I will direct sow a succession crop. This gives me a nice supply of peas from my 8' pea walls.

You are my first stop when looking to grow anything new, I can always trust that you've got me covered, thank you!!

Going to try sugar snap peas very soon, summers in Cape Town get very very hot, so I'm going to make sure they're hopefully ready for harvest before then

Thank you!!

Interesting fact: the words legume and legend are linked to the same root word! Yes, beans and peas are legendary :)

Your livestock will love the expended vines!!

Hi👋 from one of your Aussie subs - another tops video! The funny thing is, I was standing at the sink, washing and preparing a colander of snow peas I just picked out in the backyard, and a couple of homegrown choko (chayote) too - it's stirfry tonight! I was listening to a music YouTube video while I worked which ended and then this pea video of yours started up automatically, just as I top & tailed my first pea (cue Twilight Zone music).
Coincidence? 🤔 lol!
(but if the next video that pops up automatically is something to do with chayote....🤯🤣) Seriously though, love your vids, thanks! 😁👍

This was a wonderful video about peas. Thank you. You sorted out some things for me. Bless you.

Peas are my favorite garden treat ♥️ their only competition are tomatoes.. but they come later for me. My peas never make it to the kitchen.. I pick and munch on them when I’m in the garden.

[GreenlandRobot]

Your comment about how if the peas do well then the garden does well really resonated with me. This year I struggled and had the worst peas ever and everything else is doing poorly as well.

I'm planting Sugar Daddy Peas for the first time with hopes for a good fall harvest. I've tried lots of first-time plantings this year. Definitely a learning year for me - learning what to do and what not to do again...

[janetting]

This year I am planning to not only plant garlic but also sugar snap peas. Thanks for the video. I think I can do sugar snap peas this year.

Right information right to the point, great video on peas

[blacksinglemomhomesteadont]

Enjoyed your video. Funny watching you eat so many peas. Nice.
