How to Grow Peas | The Simple Guide to a Fantastic Harvest

In this video, I demonstrate how to grow peas and show the full process including how to build a simple pea structure. Peas are the most wonderful crop and tasting delicious sweet peas straight from the pod, right off the plant, is an experience that I doubt can be improved. This is the simple guide on how to grow your own peas at home.

I like using my sunflower stalks from the previous year as trellises. They work well.

Love the idea of using the little branches at the bottom to get them started... I will definitely be trying this with other types of vines!🙌

[ollvebranch]

I remember these as a child. My Grandad grew them with runner beans. Best days of my life .

Just outstanding demo of great techniques - I can see the rain gutter method being equally effective for radishes, bok choy, spinach, pole beans, etc, and the framing structure for cucumber, tomato, zucchini, etc. Thanks so much for sharing!! Stay safe & healthy, eat your veggies to stay resilient & strong.

Absolutely beautiful pea trellis, and the pea gutter tactic is magnificent. Thank you, you are obviously an expert and your knowledge is very much appreciated.

You are a national treasure, I hope your people appreciate you! Thanks for all that you do, from across the pond in the U.S., stay well young man!

I found myself more fascinated by the scenery, the accent and the dimples! I had to re watch the video for the gardening tips👍

Hey Huw! The method you describe in this video is genius. I have added my own stroke of genius in the form of drip watering my snow peas. I could not find any old guttering so I purchased 1.5m of black drainage pipe that has a removable open grid top for less than $20 AUD. It has two open ends, and I put it under a dripping tap planted out just as you suggested on a gentle slope on a concrete path. It fits out of sight behind a cast iron and wooden garden bench seat. This method was 100% successful, as gravity guided the water through the compost that I used as the growing medium in the black draining pipe. In some ways it acted as a swale with the overflow, eventually finding it's way to watering a 40 year old everbearing lime tree a few meters away even though I put two bricks at each end to protect my little seedlings from being eaten. The best part is I can use it over and over again! Cheers!

You have given me ideas for growing my favorite flower - sweet peas - as well as eating peas. Really like the rain gutter method.

I saw this method last year on a gardening website and really want to try it this year. I have the worst rodent problem so I cannot direct seed anything. One year I planted hundreds of seeds in a 30 foot bed and got a grand total of 5 plants that survived. Last year I planted out seeds I started inside and grew to several inches tall and finally had my first successful pea crop but it was so much work planting each individual plant. This will be so much more efficient!

Well organised and maintained veggie garden, even down to the grass pathways.

This is a FANTASTIC idea!! No more scooping plants one-by-one! Wow.

[joycohen]

“If they’re being a bit naughty…” ;) So cute. Great video, great ideas and execution and stunning garden & location

Sheep in the background! absolutely beautiful

"If they're being a little bit naughty"... This is why the British are superb

[cindyhollings]

So satisfying watching those peas jiggling out of the guttering ❤

[azokalum]

Thank you for explaining so clearly and encouragingly how to get the bet yield from peas. You inspired me to grow more veg this year with the help of my child. So satisfying to spend time outdoors and learn new skills together. All the best for a good growing season and much gratitude for sharing your knowledge and live of gardening!

[jrmint]

Beautiful...I've never been able to figure out how these natural structures are built, this looks easy enough for a non builder like myself. Thank you!
