How can peas be leafless? I mean, photosynthesis is how plants produce carbohydrates. Leaves are the primary generators of photosynthesis. So, what gives?
@@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).
I have many gardening channel which i'm following, but you are by far my favorite one :) What's funny is you are the only gardener I follow which is not from my zonage, in 3b. 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!
@@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.
Recalled your yellow lime content and thought you might appreciate the somewhat different, but similarly rare I assume, first hand knowledge which I left here. I couldn't find any visual proof on this 31 year old internet so I'm guessing I'm one of the first to try this. I'll ignore people's bad advice and film video proof next time.
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.
In England in the early 1960’s I was a student and earned money in the summer harvesting peas and runner beans. Neither of these crops were grown on trellises but stayed on the ground. Beans were pulled off the plant but pea plants were uprooted and held upside down then the peas removed . The peas were collected in buckets and taken to a weighing station to have weights recorded. Beans were put into sacks and dragged along the rows then weighed . I was glad to have a hefty young brother to shoulder the sack and take the heavy sack to be weighed. After peas and beans I moved on to apple picking -less bending but more up and down ladders! Love your videos !
It's a gray, overcast, winter day in Utah, with a foot of snow on the ground and more on the way. This video just perked me up and got me so excited to start my growing season again! 🎉 😊 ☀️🌱 Its such a nice feeling. 😊
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.
Hello from Houston Texas USA! I love your videos and your advice generally translates very well to my climate. I am growing peas (specifically, sugar snap peas) for the first time and have just recently had a few pods ripen; they are very yummy! This is an interesting variety; thanks for sharing it!
Love all your videos, thanks for sharing your extensive garden knowledge with us all! Your humor is the cherry on the top and you've inspired me to create my own youtube channel on gardening here in South Africa after breaking my ankle, so thank you so so much 🌱😁🌱
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
The first year I tried to grow PEAS (Snow) it was my greatest failure and my most outstanding success. I never successfully got any of these Snow Peas onto the dining table; my second son taught his 3 brothers how to harvest S/Peas... my most amazing gardening success ~ and what more could I ask for
Great Video as always Mark! Thanks for sharing so much knowledge. You were the first gardener that I watched on UA-cam and you are still my favorite 🙏🏽 Have a G'Day 😁☀
Yes, if you give peas a chance, you carrot go wrong. It's almost 8 am and haven't been drinking. I've almost all my seed list purchased and looking for a few interesting experiments. I'll look for those peas. Always Thanks Mark!
I just want to say I absolutely love this channel. I've been binge watching all of ur videos and recently stumbled upon this. I've been going down a rabbit hole and it's been an absolutely fun one! Thanks for the content keep it up!!
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.
The short bush of the leafless peas make them an excellent choice for balcony gardens and indoor hydroponics systems where there is a limited amount of space to grow food.
I started building a cold frame out of wood and an old window, but then saw the tub and thought, that might fit. I’ll finish the cold frame but I’ll use the tub until then.
I always love your vids but haven't been here in a while.. irl stuff ..and am so glad I get to share in your gardening adventures. Awesome as always Mark!!
Interesting video on peas without a trellis, I’ll have to give it a go. On a different topic! Where I live in Central Victoria I have access to multitudes of gum leaves and gum tree wood chips. Can I use these in the garden if aged well? I have often seen articles saying don’t use gum, particularly eucalyptus for mulching gardens. I have watched your videos on wood chips and leaf mulch. I would appreciate your thoughts on using gum tree waste in the garden. Cheers and thanks, always enjoy your presentations.
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

Thank you Mark for a very informative video. It's good to try new things sometimes isn't it? Last year my peas didn't do very well, it might have been our very wet summer that did it (I'm from the UK). I am going to try growing peas again this year and see how they do.
Love all your videos mark! They really motivate me to start becoming more self sufficient, and they are just plain entertaining! Did have a quick question about your beds, do they have bottoms on them? If they don’t how do you keep pests and undesirables from infiltrating from the bottom? And if they do how do you keep them from rusting out? If you have a sec to answer I’d really appreciate it! Cheers!
I would have never throught about growing them without a trellis either! Was interesting how the normal peas ended up self supporting!! I've have them overgrow the trellis before, but then when they flopped they pretty much snapped themselves and died off. i reckon your flopping them down initially stopped that being a thing!
I might try growing peas again, hopefully I get more than a couple of seed pods next time. Peas and beans haven't been producing very well for me lately.
I’m glad to see your t-shirt graphics didn’t hold up. I was proud of my green, Self Sufficient Me t-shirt . It didn’t take long before it turned into a plain green, t-shirt.
We get heaps of wind here so I would have to grow these peas with a trellis of some sort of protection from the wind. It will be interesting to see if the seeds you collected grow true to type considering the other peas you had growing.
These would be excellent for someone with a small patio or balcony, oh and me 😂 so I’ll have to look them up. Have a fab week Mark stay safe, Ali ❄️🥶🇨🇦
I absolutely love your videos! I've been watching for a few years now, but I can't recall you ever mentioning whether you've written any books on gardening... If you have I'd love to give them a read! Cheers
Hi Mark. happy new year to you and your family, wishing you the best for the future, I love peas so any variety suits me, leafless? runner? climbing? ordinary, it doesn't matter, I'm always interested in whatever you post because its always informative and educational, cheers!!!🥰😘💕👌👍👍🌱
Can you grow a mangosteen tree in your area? I'm in New Hampshire in the USA and i bought a purple orange and lemon drop mangosteen off amazon to expirement with. They're extremely slow growing but they've got new leaves every year so far, still sapling height but growing indoors nonetheless! I would love to see others grow these fruit trees so i could learn more!
I am not a fan of peas from the grocery store, except the fried kind you get in Bombay mix. Frozen, canned or fresh, they just taste soggy and so MEH. But fresh out of the garden? I’m addicted to them! Marrow fat or snow peas, I love them all when I grow them myself!
I’ve been growing the leafless Pea Novella for a decade. It’s a beauty, but a few years ago they were hard to source. I discovered a ‘normal’ pea variety called Willow, and it is so delicious, and so easy to grow (when the damned blackbirds and rats don’t dig up the seeds!) I can’t go back to Novella even though it’s readily available again. But Novella is a very prolific and good grower, certainly here in Tasmania.
Please do a video on harvesting then replanting from all the harvests? Are you able to just plant one pf those peas? And continue the life? All different kinds of veg and fruit
I have never grown peas on a trellis but I do grow enough peas to make 2 rows of around 20 metres and don't want to use my time setting up trellises when my growing season is short enough as it is

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

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

Yes I'm the same..this is definitely my favorite channel by far...he's a great presenter, has an awesome garden and has great tips !!!🙋👍
what does 3b mean? Is that like a zip code?
@@Im-just-Stardustinteresting. Is this a regional thing? I've never heard of this where I live in Switzerland
plant hardiness zone, i think its a north america thing@@WillSavage
Adding to my list for next year, Mark! Always love your experiments. - Kevin
Another great channel to watch is your's. So cool to see you watch Mark too!
Maybe you can get those seeds selling at botanical interests and we can all start and be part of a "challenge".
Cheers Kevin, thanks for stopping by mate! 👍🙂

Your dad-jokes are really on point today! Thanks for the humour!
Those would be perfect for my balcony! Thanks for sharing this experiment Mark!
Try growing Italian green beans. They have wide fuzzy pods but are stringless and taste very good when pods are boiled.
Found that very interesting thanks. Here in cork Ireland I have a very small garden and will definitely be giving them “leafless” peas a go👍
Thank you Mark!😊
Found a cooler with legs by the curb and made it a raised bed, and then I found a clear tub that fits perfectly on top to grow greens in the cold.
I started building a cold frame out of wood and an old window, but then saw the tub and thought, that might fit. I’ll finish the cold frame but I’ll use the tub until then.

I have 2 vegepods and they both are fall armyworm breeding boxes !!
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

Haha 😄 I gotta big smile from hubby with the 'PP' joke 😂
Maybe the regular peas first had to pick themselves up, before blooming. Therefor a little bit later then the leafless.
Nice video. Thanks
The jokes don't stop in this episode. Great video Mark.
That pea soup joke had everyone in the lunch room thinking I'd gone mad with my laughter.
You made me LOL 3 times in this video😂👌 And thanks for introducing me to the "leafless" pea, it's very beautiful looking 😍
i personally grow a climbing variety that gets 9 feet tall if you have a good season. it gives 3 times the yield per sq meter.
I'm so sick of the small commissions. Mark you deserve MASSIVE COMMISSIONS!!!!
I might try growing peas again, hopefully I get more than a couple of seed pods next time. Peas and beans haven't been producing very well for me lately.
Love my vegepods, perfect for proecting and growing my letuce
Interesting experiment.Thanks for sharing. 😀

@@Selfsufficientme That's fantastic! Please keep us updated, I know I can't be the only one who'd like a copy.
not sure when you made the videos so it would be good if you told us what season you sow the seeds please. thankyou

Great information right there! Thanks for sharing. "Give peas a chance" LOL you nut!!
my peas do the same when they overtake my not-quite-tall-enough trellis. They droop down, but perk up to look for more sun.

They're extremely slow growing but they've got new leaves every year so far, still sapling height but growing indoors nonetheless! I would love to see others grow these fruit trees so i could learn more!
I had to order after watching your video Mark thank you😊
I am so interested in these upright planter’s
You and me both! And I love that they come WITH the bug net
I am not a fan of peas from the grocery store, except the fried kind you get in Bombay mix. Frozen, canned or fresh, they just taste soggy and so MEH. But fresh out of the garden? I’m addicted to them! Marrow fat or snow peas, I love them all when I grow them myself!

Picked up the varieties "Novella" and "Prairie Parsley" to try this year in our community garden this year, eh?
Your dad jokes really make my day!
Mark, what’s that tree behind you at 3.56? It reminds me of bilimbi (Averhhoa bilimbi.)
I’ve been growing the leafless Pea Novella for a decade. It’s a beauty, but a few years ago they were hard to source. I discovered a ‘normal’ pea variety called Willow, and it is so delicious, and so easy to grow (when the damned blackbirds and rats don’t dig up the seeds!) I can’t go back to Novella even though it’s readily available again. But Novella is a very prolific and good grower, certainly here in Tasmania.
What an interesting variety!
Please do a video on harvesting then replanting from all the harvests? Are you able to just plant one pf those peas? And continue the life? All different kinds of veg and fruit
Id like to see this to knowing some seeds are hybrid
Nothing better than fresh peas! I call it garden candy!
I have never grown peas on a trellis but I do grow enough peas to make 2 rows of around 20 metres and don't want to use my time setting up trellises when my growing season is short enough as it is
I tried growing peas a few years ago, did a bamboo teepee type structure over the top. Kids loved them, until it was time to eat them at the table.
I think I might have to get them for a try.
Have a ripper mate!
