[@FloraM44]

James I don't know if you'll see this since I came to the video looking for snap pea help and see that it's 3 years old, but I wanted to tell you the inspirational talk in the middle of this video brought a tear to my eye. I've been fighting all season long with cucumber beetles killing so many of my plants despite all my efforts to combat them. I'd had to replant my watermelons already 3 times before yesterday, when I woke up to find a squirrel had dug up my 3rd batch of seeds. I'm all for sharing food with your environment but they didn't even eat them, just dug them up, which made it even more upsetting. At July 18th, in zone 5, with a first frost date of October 7th, it's probably pointless but last night I sowed my 4th round of seeds. I've had to sow and re-sow so many cucumbers and snap peas and zucchini my work has quadrupled this year, and feels like the harvest is almost non-existent. So your message was very, very much needed. Maybe I won't get my watermelons this year. Maybe I'll get some cucumbers or zucchini from my 4th batch of seeds. Frig, at least my ~100 tomato plants are doing well so I am hopeful to maybe have something go alright this year. I'm also growing peppers for the first time and they seem to be doing well so far (knock on wood). Anyway. Thank you. Sometimes gardening is a tough emotional journey, even for those of us with a decent amount of tolerance. Motivation from others who get it is very much appreciated 💜

[@Mrsarcat]

“Pea pant” 🤣 im such a child lol love your videos super informative thank you

[@ttb1513]

I appreciate all of your tips on pea planting. A minor mis-speak @2:20: "4-6 weeks before first frost date in spring" should be *last* frost date in spring.

[@zzstardust]

Snap peas don't do well in heat, and they are frost tolerant, so planting them in ground before the last frost date is appropriate.

[@jeas4980]

I live in a humid area with 100° summers. Planting peas under my grape arbors works beautifully. Huge grape yields...long run pea season. They are excellent companions with the grapes shading and trellising the peas...and the peas feeding and protecting the grape vines. I use heirloom varieties and they self seed for the next season.

Lethal Designs me too. This Texas heat just killed mine off

[@pepeespanol3312]

@@djnunya5153 Hello from Spain. The weather in my área is very like yours,and have had this same problem. Now l found a way.But you need to have trees like pome grenade or figs.And work them a bit. You need to prune them on the side where the morning sun falls. Shoots will grow from the trunk,which you will use as a trellis. Dont push the prunning too far.just a bit.A single primary branch should do. Then show the peas at the base of the tree and let them climb up the shoots,even up the main branches. Contrary to common belief,at least here,climbers dont need a lot of direct sun light.4 hours of the mild morning sun will do. Note that in nature,climbers grow under higher,bigger plants,in shade for most of the day. They will not give as much fruits as they do in full sun,of course,but you will be able to grow and enjoy some of your favourite crop. Collect some seed and grow them the next season with a bit more of sun,and repeat the seed colection,and repeat the patern every season,with a bit more of sun for each new generation of seeds.after some years,you will have your own weathered variety,perfectly adapted. Where l live,faba beans are believed impossible to grow in summer.Last harvest is supossed to be in April,and next crop planted in October. I produced my own seed for years, Followed this patern,and now l can grow them all the year through and harvest in full summer.not a big harvest yet,but enough for myself. And spect to reach a normal harvest in about 4 or 5 years more. Just try.its worth the time invested. If you dont have these trees,you can use others.build a trellis on the shaded side of it,water regularly and use a thik mulch yo keep the soil moist and fresh around your peas.if you use this method,Jeep an eye on ball bugs.Mulch will atract them when there is no moisture and shade in the área.

[@djnunya5153]

Pepe Español thank you so very much for answering and giving such a great recommendation. I'll start next spring.

[@pepeespanol3312]

@@djnunya5153 good luck my friend. Perseveration leads to succes. You can do the same thing with every plant and get your own adapted variety. One more tip.Let the pea plants to die off in place,will make a wonderful nitrogen input for your trees. After peas you can grow in succesion any variety of leafy greens or brasicas,which can do fine in shaded areas and benefit form this nitrogen input. Letuce,spinach and radish are my crops of choice for this succesion. Keep experimenting with different combinations and find what works the best for your área and specific conditions in your garden.

Nice video. Here is a question; we grow sugar snap peas for fresh eating and to take to the local food bank. I trellis them along farm type panel fencing. They grow over the top (6') and then fall over the structure and eventually the loaded vines produce a lot of peas, but the vines start to break off...I kid you not, they are 12' long!!. We get lots of peas, but I wondered if after the first "harvest", if I cut back the vines to 3 or 4 feet tall, would they then send out new growth from that point and produce even more peas?
