In this video, I grow a leafless variety of peas that supposedly don't have leaves and do not require a trellis for support due to its unique tendrils growing habit.

How can peas be leafless? I mean, photosynthesis is how plants produce carbohydrates. Leaves are the primary generators of photosynthesis. So, what gives?

@tropicsteaders 5 ай бұрын

Quick suggestion: adding the month in which you planted so that we can use it for future reference.

@CookingWithCows 5 ай бұрын

@@jasonbean2764 I think I heard somewhere that pea pods are modified leaves, so, while they don't have as much surface as a true leaf, it does still do photosynthesis as does the whole rest of the plant that has green color (including the tendrils).

@@Selfsufficientmejust to give this to both of you guys at once: I've harvested walnut straight from a low hanging branch, possibly during what's considered a portion of "the milk stage" of growth; the skin wasn't yet skin but rather a soft membrane which held inside liquid which I assume is possibly healthier. I had to remove the green outside before cracking it, though it was definitely worth it, it was like a walnut flavored "gusher "fruit" snack". I wondered if that's where "wet nuts" were originally, I doubt people weren't experimenting with different harvest times before things were branded commercially.

So of course I always had to be careful with the tips you were giving, because what works for you may very well not work here in Canada. But still, i'm hooked. I think its your personality and the fact that you are 100% honest, all the time. You also tend to give tips that are useful for all type of zonage. Its also very enjoyable to watch you gardening in extreme heat, while here we are stuck in ice. Anyway, big fan mate!

I grew up with my parents always trellising our peas. Out of my own laziness, I decided to grow a garden without trellising any plants. I was absolutely surprised that my peas did amazing and trellised themselves so well. It wasn't until a lot later that I thought about commodity peas and how they're grown. There's no way they were trellising hundreds of acres of peas, right? Right. They just drop a ton of seed and let it go, absolutely no laying over.

My vegepods are the only part of my vegetable garden still producing this year. My raised beds became victim of hailstorms and heatwaves. I am in my fourth year of growing in them, I have two large, one medium and a small which is my seed starter. A great addition to anyone purchasing the plastic cover is a must for anyone in frost areas and very handy to put on if extremely heavy rainfall is expected. And the greenhouse cover is my lifesaver so far this summer they are the only reason my pods are still producing. I love my vegepods and highly recommend them to anyone. Good on you Mark for adding them to your garden, and showing people another way of gardening. They are an investment but worthwhile.

Very similar to PLS 595 hybrids. They are very disease resistant and can be grown for nine months in zone 9B (can not take the heat of summer). Normally plant at 20 cm spacing, no problem at 15 cm except harder to pick. I live in a very windy area and have never had any damage from wind. Very economical when you buy one pound of seed. That's enough for me to succession plant for two years with good germination. I recommend three year old seed be double planted and thinnned as required.

These peas would be really good to grow here in the UK. We have a very wet spring and winter, so it is hard to grow peas without getting premature mildew. The leafless peas wouldn't need as much airflow to stop this from happening. I do wonder if they would water log easier, though, since they don't have leaves to evapourate off some of the moisture, but you could probably under plant with onions or garlic to double up. Interesting vid. I like growing the weird and wacky stuff. I've always wanted to try growing cotton, flax and amaranth, but have never really gotten around to them because of the up keep of the labourious task of actually harvesting them.

@AntonGully 5 ай бұрын

Don't think too hard on an easier way to crop cotton. That's one of the ways the UK went down a wrong path in the past. I grow peas outdoor in the UK. I start them in toilet rolls until they're bushy and don't transplant outside until it's fairly frost free. I've yet to have much of a mildew problem, but I might have been lucky. I have a couple of sets of big metal screens from B&Q propped against each other as trellises, and the peas in troughs. It takes up a lot of space but the airflow is great.

@Handles_AreStupid 5 ай бұрын

@@AntonGully There are pea varieties that you can plant out in feb/march, but the cold temperatues does cause them to grow slower, and I do usually cover them when the temp drops below -2C. The slow growth tends to make them more prone to mildew, but the frosted peas are easily the sweetest.

Thanks for the tip on these upright peas, I will definitely look into them. Last year I tried a new process for peas. I added pea seeds to my hanging baskets for a bit of edible landscaping. The result was surprising, I got a great crop of peas as well as a visually appealing flower pot. This also freed up space in my veggie garden while still keeping my peas away from the local wildlife.

There is a good explanation for initial leaves and then a signifigant reduction of leaves. It depends on when the plant is most dependent on photosynthesis and when it mostly goes over to roots, at a guess.

Hi, that's an interesting variety of pea. They seem to be leafless, but I'd guess all the leaflets have just been transformed into tendrils, leaving the leaflet-like stipules at the base to look like leaves. So technically the leaves persist, but modified as pure tendrils and the stipules seem to take over most of the photosynthetic functions of the leaves. Cheers

I use seeds mainly from The Lost Seed Company (Crows Nest in QLD), they have mainly heirloom varieties. The germination rate you mentioned is directly linked to soil quality. I did Cert 3 in Horticulture and I was taught the easiest way to test soil quality was to plant 10 tomato seeds, going by the number of seeds that germinate, 1seed germinating was poor soil and 10 seed sprouting was excellent soil quality. It's a really cheap and effective soil quality test, I swear by it.

Problem with growing peas is that no matter how much you plant, you never have enough. By the time you get done harvesting and snacking on them as you go, you find there’s not many (if any) being taken into the house.
