Wanna hear a cool story. I grew peas in the spring, saved the seeds to dry and planted them in mid summer for late peas… Didn’t know I could do that. So cool! Also, i had pretty great success with the seeds I saved. I had to pick before they were completely dry on the vine because the birds like them and if they deer had gotten them I wouldn’t have had them to replant.

Thank you so much for showing me how to save the seeds my pea plant is my first ever plant I planted my self and I really enjoyed seeing it progress but now since it’s drying up I needed to find a video to help me with collecting seeds❤

Oh this is both fantastic information and very timely. My peas are still going strong but I wanted to prepare for seed harvesting. This is more for my grown children who are learning with me too, so thank you so very, very much.

No way? I can grow my own? Oh wow, saving this video too.

Thanks great information on Drying n Saving Peas the right way Been drying n saving my seeds this last week had a Bumper crop and getting ready to plant my Fall Peas 😀 👍 🇺🇸

Remember when i mentioned about cut watermelon stems? I tried to put the cut ends in water to try to reroot them. Total failure. 😔 i guess you cant reroot watermelon vines.

Great video! I like to make sure their completely dry by laying them on a cardboard tray or something similar and put it inside by a sunny window for a few days. A couple of weeks does not hurt either. Im sure one can do without follpwing your guidlines but i prefer to be safe than sorry. Also im in Sweden and fall gets moist and cool so often seed pods that are dry may still have some surface moisture.

Thank you Jeff,your peas look great!

A very good educational film showing pea dried process. We can learn it practically and workable by Your film. Thanks!

this was a perfect video ! thanks buddy

This was sooooo helpful. Thank you!

I have the Oregon peas growing this year, and forcing myself to save them instead of eating them right off the vine is hard. Thanks for sharing.

Great video Jeff!!! I might be a little more busy now but I still try to make time for your wonderful tips. 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻

I really enjoy your channel and the information you provide is great. Easy to understand and I like the sense of humour you add. Have learned a lot and will continue to watch your channel. I am based in the UK and find your tips so useful even if our weather and temperatures differ. Thanks for explaining things so clearly and thoroughly. I'm new to gardening and all the veg I grow is in fabric grow bags of various sizes.

I saved peas for the first time this year. It is usually hard to do that here in Northern NY because of the humidity. But, we have had a lot of higher temperatures this summer so I gave it a try. The Alaska Peas hate excess heat from the sun. So they dried out very quickly. Just two small harvests. These peas out grew my 4 foot trellis by at least 2 feet. The stalks of the plants were as thick as a pencil. I never grew peas like this variety before. They are for U.S. zone 3 and we are in 4a. Normally it would have been cool enough here for them. I got a lot of pea seeds. Enjoyed, take care!

Very interesting I took down peas but still in the pod letting them dry out as you mentioned

Even though my pea plant is still growing it's first flower, I'm watching just incase

Super video. Thanks.

Hi, as always, a great video with lots of help & advice too. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂

Thank you so much

Ack!! I wished I had watched your video BEFORE picking some enormous ripe, yet still green pods. I'm still gonna try and save them for next year though. Great video and thanks!

I'm glad i dont have to dry them ll the way on the vines. I need the space for my fall crops. I have never had a pea crop produce in two months closer to 3 and starting to die off about 4 months. Keeping them an extra 3 weeks to dry holds back precious real estate in the garden

I wonder what split pea soup would taste like, from home grown peas. I bet, it's super good.

Thanks so much for this information. I'm going to try fall planting seeds this year to see how that goes in zone 6a.

Thanks as always for the info! Peas my brother! I mean Peace :) haha

I like this video..some good tips.thanks!😊

We are snow peas if you please,,, we are snow peas if you don't please,,, EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!

Thanku!

peas..my fav microgreens....multiple harvests

Wow Jeff! I made a big mistake last spring when I threw out those tan, dried up pea pods! I planted too late for them here in South Florida, but could have saved about 2 dozen cured seeds. 🤨 But now I know- thanks for this video. 🙂

Oh man, I am behind on watching videos and I actually just harvested all my pea seeds this morning! Luckily, I have done it correctly. I am going to have to go back and figure out if I had hybrid though.

I saved a few onions and carrots from last year to go to seed this year so this was a video I needed. I read that seeds you save grow better in your area than store bought seeds that might be harvested in a warmer climate . Do you think that is true? This year I am going to save all the seeds I can. One question- I’m growing several new heirloom hybrids which will not bloom true. If I hand pollenate and put a net bag over the flower, will it bloom true? I keep trying to understand how tomato genetics work but I dont’ know enough.

Watermelon plants are annuals. Rooting works best with perennials. Try basil or a pepper or tomato.

Shake 'em!

Ah, now I understand where I went wrong. Picked what I thought were pods ready, they weren't. The rattle is what I needed to know. Hybrids are unfunny, they're often not worth keeping the seeds of.

I need to remove my vines, i really can’t wait any longer because my tomatoes need that trellis now. I’m hoping if i pull off the peas now they can dry indoors and still be ok. How much does the success rate go down?

Thrusting… 🤔I like it.

Hi

I'm not sure why but my dried up pod had some small shrivelled seeds in them.. is that bad?

Another fab video! The 40c heatwave in London, UK, pretty much killed off all our sugar snap peas and sweet peas. Luckily we still have some seeds and from eating a big seeded one that they don't taste nice and best to keep them for re planting. I did keep some of the big ones to dry out before the heatwave. We have just planted some more but if they don't germinate soon, then we will try soaking the sugarsnap peas. The two runner bean plants from the kids school also didn't fair too well in the heat but we got some seeds, plus at the end of the school year, the nature club send them home with another planted seed. These past 4 weeks have felt like 4 months tbh. I do my bit for my fellow players on YT Bi weekly so Mon 11th for about 2 days - ish i upload my usual 50 short videos. My niece and her bf came over from the Netherlands for a week. First solo trip without my sister and first time here for the bf. They came over when we had the first heatwave in the 30's c on the Tuesday. Not done working but it was all cool. My kids school reports, open day at the school, was already in the planned trip. My dad was acting funny in messages. It has been hot and we thought he was over doing it in the garden and doing shopping. I was busy looking after the kids in the heat on their day trips. Hot days and usual delays on the trains when they came back in rush hour. (The worst for me was coming out of London from Solo Square, via Waterloo in 34c weather and heavily pregnant and no one offer you a seat until you nearly pass out because it was so busy and not many people noticed a bump or even acknowledge it on public transport). Instead of messaging me she messaged her mum in the Netherlands who got the wrong info and made my niece, already with social anxiety panic. She finally messaged me and i found out the local info. No big drama and advised them what to do, drink water and not panic. All is good. My child's school report was great and KS1 results made us very proud. Just a shame that we couldn't celebrate as we would normally with visitors and outside influences and i was feeling sick from the 30c + heat already. Their had also just lost their two front top teeth and was negotiating that they would give them to the tooth fairy for £10 each as they would miss their teeth!! Everyone knows that the tooth fairy can't hold that amount of coins at one time! We have them stored in water atm as we all know the fairy can't fly with their wings wet. After calls and messages my dad finally lets me take the cat so he can call A&E. The hospitals here are crazy busy atm with covid patients. From 10pm when paramedics arrive and 6am, my dad was sitting in a chair within the A&E from a stroke. He then got a bed in a&e but it was in the corridor, in front of the nurses station. 11pm, after the receptionist lying to us about him being in a corridor, we finally get to see him. His lesion was on the part of the brain for communication, cognitive and language, so he was confused, trying to leave and we were not allowed to stay with him in the corridor. He finally got transferred to ICU equivalent after midnight. Scans and consultations took days rather than hours. Due to visiting numbers i let my niece and her bf visit first and they found a spot outside and then we came. My niece clearly distraught, we all hugged her including our kid. I think our kid remembers when my father in law had a stroke that affected his movement, pre pandemic, that is mobile again now. This was manageable but again out influences not here made the stress levels go up more than it needed to. Looking after vulnerable teens and our kid. A cat that i am really allergic too and really hot weather. We couldn't open up some windows in case the cat escapes. A lot of traffic both front and back and surrounded by dogs, foxes, etc. Barely keeping up with the heat with my asthma and now cat that i am allegic too, door systems to cool parts of the house down, Out side influences telling us how to run our lives. Mon/Tue, i couldn't travel due to the heat. Plus my 17 yr car with 50K miles already was struggling with the heat and air con. Price of petrol £1.97/ litre. Social anxiety and agoraphobia from working in C London, pre pandemic. Then lockdowns. It's one thing, with having a kid at school. Then you have teens visit, who want to sight see. Then you have to go to A&E. Then you are a ferry service to people who don't think masks apply to them in ICU. Whilst outside influences dismissed the Red weather warnings and advise here in the UK not to travel, I made sure the kids left earlier than planned at least on the Tues, with plenty of water. Sure enough the lines buckled on their original route. Also, as no one was travelling due to the heat, they got upgraded. Glad they got back ok. All our tomatoes collapsed that day.I took his friend to see my Dad the Weds. Still hot. Travelling around the downs mean that you sometimes need to switch off the aircon to make it up the hils. Having air con on sucks the fuel up so much more. My sister finally came over at the weekend. Scared the cat. The out side influences decided to go out on the Sat night to party. Whilst all dolled up dancing around the kitchen, i forgot to add the sugar to my picked beetroots, when processing them. I missed the start of Minecraft Championships. It is a monthly event, added to the calendar. Important for stability and mental health. We wanted to ensure that we can normalise the house as much as we can for the end of term as well. Our concern was about bringing calm and safe spaces, not only for our kid but for the nervous cat. (she was attacked by a rotti as a kitten and had to have her jaw re wired). We are rescue dog owners. Our last fur daughter passed away in Dec 2019. We wanted a break and wanted to have a holiday abroad, without the worries of what to do with our rescues. My dad's cat was returned to him today after the all clear. I needed notice at the beginning of the week for my kid who has grown attached to the cat. I would love to foster pregnant animals but i think it would be too much for our kid. We now need to de cat the place and hope that my allergies and asthma gets better. Opening up the windows and doors feels good already. We have cool 24/5c now for a few days. A couple of points in the day, i felt that i needed my cardigan. That is how hot it has been here. Normally over 25c, i stay in doors. Nights are looking at 11 - 17c atm. Looking forward to the fresher air, the million fire ants on my face when i get close to the cat to groom to go away (father in law took a photo of me on Thurs and my face was so red. We met halfway at a pub that went posh. It is now full of mums with babies or people with dogs. Step mother in Law had 3 sausages and a few boiled potatoes - not mash, with very salty "gravy" for £16! We don't eat out much now days. What started out as cost saving has now turned out to be disappointing meals treats. Also, is it Jeoff or Geoff please? My name can also be spelt different so want to make sure i am commenting with the correct spelling.

If you have to pull your peas off early, can you dehydrate the seeds in a dehydrator?

The best are cow or field peas.

1:22 pea varieties

Can you plant the seeds from the viability test?

Thanx for this info,I’m a new grower and appreciate the tips…

This video just reminded me to go strip my dead pea plants out and lo and behold I had a pocket full of dried pods all I did was just cut a new trench and plant on the other side of my trellis

BUT I do not like peas😁👣👣👣👣👣👣
