I have a friend here who also keeps a vegetable garden; sometimes I ask for tips from them on what plants are easiest to grow. My potatoes will be ready for harvest soon, and I have decided to uproot the broccoli which made a huge comeback and flowered no end but at the same time the worms arrived too! So I will have a bare patch ready for planting in this late summer / autumn time.
They suggested snow peas which, apparently, is quite easy to grow too. And I saw their snow peas flowering and bearing pods! It was quite an inspiring sight. And so, beating the winter season, I decided to buy snow peas seeds and planted these in the middle of February.
They looked like this a couple of weeks later:
And they have started developing tendrils to latch on to anything that will help them climb. I created a trellis using some twine and recycled a plastic frame for the snow peas to ascend.
I took these photos yesterday. I hope they are able to grow fast enough before winter time. I placed a couple of seeds in a bucket as well to place in the sun room just in case.
I still have lots of snow peas seeds left so if you are in my neighborhood I will gladly give you some!
