  1. These are fantastic, I'm definitely going to look into getting some seeds and growing/sharing my own!

    I live in a small apartment that only has one window with any sunlight at all and have had to become inventive with my planting. I've got baskets and things suction-cupped to the windows to help increase my vertical growing space, but I keep looking for more fruit-bearing plants that I can get in dwarf varieties so I'm not just growing a huge herb, radish, and bush tomato garden. What other dwarf/bush varieties would you recommend? Nothing can be larger than a 1 gallon pot at most, since my suction cup things can't hold more than 10lb maximum and what little ledge I have fits….hm….about the bottom of a 2liter soda bottle with a little bit of wiggle. (I'm growing scallions and daikon in soda bottles so I know for sure they fit.)

  2. quick question: I started growin an apricot tree from seed this spring and it has been growing great, but I want to know if it is safe to leave it outside during the winter.

  3. A piece of very valuable advice, which is the main reason I bought your peas, the shell of the peas can be fed to dogs and they benefit greatly from it. It helps their skin and heart, it also provides great benefit to joints and the spinal cord, and dogs will eat the heck out of them. Don't throw them out, they are a money saver for dogs and cats, cats are a bit more picky lol

  4. Congrats on the harvest!

    I'm just starting out with gardening, I'm trying out peas, morning glory and rosemary =] I have just planted the seeds in a propagator and I'm looking forward to seeing atleast 1 of each germinate =D

  5. theres no limitation on growing snap peas, the only way u wont get enough harvest is if you dont plant enough per person, 5 plants is a joke, you gotta grow at least 20 plants to get a descent harvest.

  6. I'm growing your Tom Thumb peas for the first time. I live in AZ zone 9a and have had 2 days of 95 degrees. I was expecting the peas to die but they've put out the first pod. It's very exciting. We had a very cold January and February (6+ inches of snow per storm and a few days where Tucson, AZ was colder than Anchorage Alaska. I hope I can get these to survive and produce before the 100+ degree weather hits at the end of April

  7. I was hoping for a tip on when to pick them. Is it size, a squeeze feel or just looking at them and going for it, that determines when they are reading for harvesting?

  8. I see this a 3 year old video, and I know you are talking about peas but all I see is sea of green. It would be good if you could mention in passing what the other plants are around the peas, like the tall ones, and the rounded leafy border of that bed.
