Peas, please!

by Jessika on May 10, 2009

Jessika LOVES peas. Especially shelling peas. So, we tried to grow a few in one of our barrels this year. It worked great but we learned that you have to grow a lot of them to actually get a significant amount of shelled peas.

This is how we planted our barrel full of peas. I didn’t have time to make a trellis for it, so I used a tomato cage that we had in the shed.  I used some pea inoculant that was recommended by our friends. I think that it really helped.
