There is nothing better than fresh grown peas!

As a child my father had some acreage in the country (we lived in the city, northern climate). He supplemented his income by growing our own veggies & with a little truck farming on the side. I loved the fresh peas & would eat so many of them raw while I was shelling them my mother would say I would get sick (I never did). In my area the only fresh peas you can find are the snow peas. Those are all fine and good but I agree with you that nothing compares with fresh shelled peas. Having fresh shelled or sugar snap peas is something I missed a lot so this past Spring I grew my own. They never made it to the kitchen. Next year I need to plant more. 😂

Agree about the taste of homegrown peas. Lady😢 year my peas never made into the house because I was eating them! So, I’ll be planting a lot more this year!

My dog loves peas right off the plant. I grow a few just for him. He'll pull them off himself. 😊

Nothing beats fresh peas!!! We are in zone 8b and grow both shelling and snap peas. We grow in the spring and fall. We freeze some as well, which are still tasty, but of course not the same as fresh! I found last winter they are really easy to grow in the greenhouse! This winter I have them in hanging baskets in the greenhouse and are doing great!

I love your board and baton siding on your house. My ranch home I grew up in for 18 years reminds me of yours. The eucalyptus trees etc. I grew up in the 50s in Villa Park CA. Daddy and I always kept the garden also had citrus, avocado and stone fruit trees. I love your videos. Takes me back to some of the best years of MT life

I grew green peas for the first time in 2023. They were delicious. I froze some but most were eaten raw by my grandkids. They loved them!

Thanks Brian for your great info. I didn't have any problems with the bird's. They were too busy at my feeders. Most birds just went in for the bugs. Good to hear from you!

I moved from California to Colorado and I can tell you the gardening experience has been a learning curve. Shorter growing time and longer hot summers. It's very dry here. I've tried peas a couple of years and they never got to the flowering stage before dying. My fault, as I learn from your video. Plant earlier, regardless of how I feel about the colder weather. DO NOT start indoors as they don't like transplanting. And of course fertilize along the way. Thanks for your wonderful tips. Even though you are in a different zone I appreciate you sharing the tips in my zone. Love, love, love your videos.

AWESOME, double feature today! BELLA loves to garden how sweet to see her next to pawpaw inquiring mind and snout looking on...shes delightful! What a great puppy, obvious dads little girl!

NOTHING beats fresh peas! My mom loved to grow her peas, but in Michigan it's often a challenge. I can hear her saying "Yes!" to your tips! She wouldnt letme pick or shell them, as more ended up in my tummy than the bucket or bowl!

I had a neighbor in the early 80s, an elderly gentleman who was an accomplished gardener. I don't recall what he did with his peas, but he always had the most beautiful crop, and plenty to share from his 1/2 acre lot. Wish I could have picked his brain!

Yes! Peas straight from the garden taste the best!!!

[growagarden]

"...and it's time to die" LOL. Great video. I like the idea of growing them on my tomato strings. They will look so pretty :)

[JenniMBE]

I totally agree. I didn't eat peas until I tried one that I picked from the plant and the difference in taste was worlds apart from shop bought. I grow peas every year now and most of them don't make it to the kitchen because I eat them as I pick them. I can't grow them until next spring though

It’s so cute how Bella is interested in gardening also. 😊😊

[sharondye]

You are the best. Planting peas for daughter she loves them, this will be my first time planting them so wish me luck

[panoramicviolinist]

This is amazing, thanks for the tips! Nothing like freshly grown peas ❤

[trident]

The voles ate my September peas! Gotta plant more now. Zone 9B.

[Nanarosescottage]

Okay Brian, you’ve inspired me to plant some peas on my teeny, tiny patio. Sending love and hugs to you, Emilie and Noah. I enjoyed seeing Bella’s legs working right along with you. ❤️🤗❤️

100% agree on the taste. Same for Asparagus!
