I wish every gardener with a Youtube channel would state their general location like you do. That helps the viewer to figure whether they can do what you're doing at any given time during the season.

Here in Talladega Alabama, the temperature dropped down to 23F All my cool weather crops were covered and came through the freeze without any damage, including my snow peas. However, it was too cold for my warm weather plants, even inside my poly tunnel greenhouse. I lost all my tomato, pepper, basil, and marigolds. I spent the day sowing seeds tarts to replace the plants I lost, Here is a tip on planting peas. Count out the number of seeds for the plants you want to start and place them in water for 3-4 days. By this time, most seeds should have started germinating, and roots should be visible. Plant all the seeds regardless of whether a root is showing, or not. You should see sprouts in three or four days. I used this method this year, and got 100 percent germination.

I zig zag plant my pea seeds one inch apart. I plant them along the back of a garden box with a trellis made of string across from one board to another ( obviously screwed into eack end of the garden box ) then plant a shorter crop like lettuce, radishes or carrot in the center and front. As soon as i get my second picking out of three, -2 weeks apart from first harvest, then i plant an additional zigzag 3 inches in front of the old ones. Two weeks later i harvest my final crop, then pull the old plants, chop them & toss on the floor of the area ill be needing nitrogen for next year crop rotation.
After the second batch is complete ( because we have full blown long winters here with deepfreezes ) i pile all my garden plant, chop them, sprinkle over the garden and gather enough leaves around town to cover with a solid foot of leaves. Toss on more sheep manure, toss netting over all of it, pin down with tent hooks and leave all winter till spring melts the snow. Then toss on compost and its ready- no till garden. Add mulch mix after planting.

My method to growing peas is to start them in a shallow dish with potting soil, and then transplanting all the small sprouts into the garden. I have run into issues where direct sowing results in pests eating the seeds, so I've adopted this method and have saved countless seeds that may have become bug food. Germination kicks in faster if they're started indoors where it's warm. So if you're impatient like me, that's one way to get something growing while all the other plants take their time.

Didn’t assume I could learn much about peas… but you delivered as always 😜👍🏻 And what a sign of trust from Dale to let you have his chewie 🥰

[doinacampean]

For places with short growing season: keep in mind that peas need more warmth to sprout than to grow! So, you could start your peas indoors, and transplant them outdoors when they're 2-3 inches tall. I use half toilet paper rolls, so I don't disturb the roots too much.
I also never fertilize, I just add an inch of home made compost once a year (yes, my garden is very small).

[merrylchristopher]

I plant my peas very close and they do phenomenal.

[matthewfarrell]

This is why I love Melbourne weather. We can grow them from autumn all the way to spring non stop.

Although for the last few years, we also manage to grow a crop during summer, and we get hot summers. By growing them under fruit trees.

Another excellent video! You’re always so informative, clear and concise with your instruction. I think you’re the best garden teacher on YouTube. Thank you for your videos

[mrswiggles]

If you germinate these peas by soaking them overnight then keeping them in a moist paper towel in a dark place for a couple days, you will not have to over-seed. You will know which ones germinated thereby cutting down in the step of thinning.

[brianlozen]

One note about seeding. If you have critters like I do, the Chipmunks WILL find your seeds and eat them almost immediately. Cover them with a mesh screen small enough that they can’t dig them out. Because they will find them. I took off a covering today on some plants that had grown to about 3” but I had also re-seeded some gaps. Within 2 hours those seeds were dug up and gone.

I heard about you from my neighbor just in time because I was thinking of growing peas not just for my husband and myself but also for our ducks and chickens. I've been on a lot of sites for gardening but since I live in Wilmington NC you will be easy for me to follow. I'm really actually new to gardening with decent results and have also started a backyard orchard and I see you have videos on this also. So thank you

[jessiesalisbury]

Hi Antonio. I watched this Video, a very good video. However; I watched your video on 5 food crops to grow where you was talking on growing white (Irish potatoes). I lived in Wyoming in a valley where the snow get 6 to 9 ft. deep and hangs on until June. I learned then that potatoes (white ones) could be planted while it was still quiet cold. The potatoes would grow when we had warm spells and then freeze back when it would freeze again, on and on. The first time I did this I thought I am wasting my time, I figured they wouldn't make at all. Boy did I get a pleasant surprise I made the nicest crop of potatoes I ever made. A 20 ft. X 30 ft. area produced over 500 lbs. of potatoes. Jessie from Arkansas

I love how you include all grow zones. I'm in 10b and watch your videos all the time. thanks!

[patdowner]

I appreciate your method of explaining the procedure. I like the way that you can articulate.

[LittleBitOfSunshineu]

I love Sugar Snap Peas! I grew them for the first time and regretted only planting 2 plants. This time, I'm planting way more and I'm going to fertilize so each plant gives me more peas.

[chinfuzzchet]

I was able to get good production with my snap peas well into late June last summer, despite heat indexes off 115°+ eat indexes, thanks to heavy watering.

[omeshsingh]

Instead of over-seeding in-ground, start a module tray indoors and transplant out into the locations where the seed didn't germinate in the bed. That way you get ideal in ground growth and cover the chance of minor germination failure/weather/pest losses.

OMG stay to the end….sweetness with dale is so adorable and heartwarming. Lucky pup.
