    I love your videos! My favorite thing is that you go all the way through their lives and care requirements. Every other video on yt that says, "Complete Growing Guide!" turns out to be a video of someone putting a seed in the soil. The end. 🤦‍♀ I love that you really go through care and harvest. Thank you!
  • Finally I hear someone mention leaving seeds to mature and save for the next year! I do that with everything.
  • Oh, I have been doing so many things wrong... Thank you so much for this one! I need to watch again and take notes. Peas were the "gateway vegetable" for my son, so they're kind of a big deal at our house.
  • Hi Angela. I am Angela too. I was raised in Crossville Tennessee. Lived on large farm. Cows, pigs, chickens. We had rows and rows of green peas. We harvested 8 burlap sacks every season.

    I am thrilled to have discovered your channel tonight! I’ve been watching gardening videos for a couple of years now. Many of them are informative but yours are hands down the best. I love the way you show the whole process end to end and do so in under 10 minutes. I also get a lot of encouragement from how closely you approaches line up with conclusions I’ve distilled from all the other channels. I started last year with container gardening using starts. I was very late starting because of Covid so I ran out of growing season before most things bore fruit. I’m in 7b. This year I’m jumping in with both feet. I have 140 plants started indoors and 6 raised beds nearing completion that I will plant using square foot gardening. Please keep the videos coming to help me maximize my success.

    I also agree! Sugar snap peas are my favorite type. I also like eating pea shoots as well.
  • @RC-yb5dp
    Good information. I feel smarter already.
  • @mgm2008
    Sugar snap are the only peas that I like! Thank you for sharing your experiences!!
  • @mrwhitten7704
    This is a very timely video and the content from cradle to grave is excellent! My wife asked me to grow more peas this year, so we're planting four different varieties of sweet peas, snow peas and sugar snap peas. My plan was to start some indoors and direct sow others. I want to see if there is any difference in growth and production.
  • Thank you for taking the time to teach about peas...I'm trying peas for the first time; I have started rooting inside the house; temps here on the front range today in the upper 20's and tomorrow 50!! as per your suggestion will get them out in the next couple weeks and see; God bless you and your loved ones, peace be with you all.
  • @jaykpjohnson
    thank you for this! Peas are truly one of my favorite plants; their vines are so whimsical and I find the tendrils such a cool feature of plant evolution. Delicious, too :) Great video!

    Hey im in Gilbert Az! Just moved from Mesa and just started my garden! Inhave tamatillo, peppers, berrries and just started peas, beets and raddish. You make awesome videos!!! Thank you!!!
  • Excellent video. My best garden was when I lived in Tempe AZ. I grew an 18 lb Napa cabbage once. 65°f all winter is perfect. Garlic grew very large. Tomatoes, beans, peppers, potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, every thing grew excellent except corn had no kernels on the cops unless I hand pollinated the silks. I never could grow peas in TN so I did not try to grow peas in AZ. I moved back to TN can't grow peas here, maybe in a green house in winter.
  • Excellent video! Our peas never make it in the house. Lol I guess they’re really our reward for working in the garden.

    Oh Angela! I love your channel. I have just learned so much. I'm off to find a spot for my peas!
