Please, never stop making videos! I have learnt so much from you over the past few days while I was binge-watching all your stuff, so thanks from the bottom of my heart! Apart from the obviously excellent content, I have to say that I'm really impressed with the production value of your videos. Even though it's close to a storm in the back, the sound is clear and crisp. Whenever I think to myself "I wonder how these plants look in two months" - BAM - "it is now 10 weeks later...". Whenever I wonder how something looks close up - BAM - the camera zooms in or there's a cut to a different perspective. It adds so much when you don't have to look for another video in order to follow along with one specific vegetable, but it's all right there edited into one video.
Hey lovely comment and delighted to be helping so much Rachel.
Ditto. I wholly echo your comments. This is my second year and I am re-binge watching. So much content and I am happy with what I accomplished last year. But this inspires me to take another step for this season.
For those of us who never learned these skill sets from parents, we are fortunate to have you. Your clear demonstrations and explanations are so very helpful.
Thanks Barb
He’s our plant father and we are his seedlings.
I absolutely agree. My parents weren't gardeners at all but I absolutely love the idea of growing my own food and Charles has really given me the knowledge and confidence to give it a try. I have turned my lawn into a raised bed garden this year and I hope to be able to grow some of my own fruits and vegetables.
What a lovely comment, too true Barb
I love when people get a dance when eating something healthy. Lol. I want to get there. Off to grow peas for my first time..
Thankyou and I hope they are good for you Noor
It's a wonderful thing!
Such a great idea doing the whole start-to-finish in the one video, so we can see the whole process and the end result while each step is fresh in our minds. Excellent work.
Thanks Vink glad you like it
I am from a small village of kerala in india.I recently came to know about ur videos and liked it alot.and currently planning to resign my job to allocate my time to farming especially no dig.god bless u sir
Hello Praveena, thankyou, I am excited to hear that and wish you every success

Here in Scotland my 70 year old gardening neighbour said to pre-sprout the pea seeds on wet paper on a plate then plant them into pots or multi-trays when sprouted. I got pea plants ready to plant in two weeks. My neighbour pushes the sprouted peas into the ground as they have no mice.
Nice job! And no mice, amazing :)
I wish I could copy-paste your garden to my yard.
You can. You copy what he does and has similaur results in 2 years.
Don't we all :)
I don’t think we know how much work he puts into his garden, or how much help he gets.
Getting enough mature compost has been a problem for me. Living in a residential lot in Edmonton Alberta, space is limited, & the summer season is shorter. For my composts, I use plastic garbage bins with lids to keep pests out. For aeration, I drill a lot of 1/4" holes thru the plastic. It helps, but it's not a perfect solution. Four bins take up roughly 6' x 2', so it all fits into a small space. My garden size is 24' x 16'. My lot is 50' x 100'. Food waste, raked grass, dry leaves all get composted.
I continue filling bins with food waste all winter long, but by April the ground & compost are just beginning to thaw. By early May I add water to speed up the decay. It's common to plant around Queen Victoria Day, & I like to empty my bins at least a week before. The material comes out smelling, rotten & damp, but the smell goes away within a day, & it still works quite well. The compost finishes decomposing on my vegetable beds thru the Summer growing season.
I'm most proud of my strawberries & my asparagus. I started my asparagus from seed & the plants are in the 3rd year. When I started gardening on my property, the soil was so hard I couldn't dig a spade into it. I killed all the weeds by adding cedar mulch the first year. In the second year I removed the cedar & spread it around my flower beds, & started covering my garden with compost in the Spring & Fall. My soil is getting better all the time, & Each year, I'm producing bigger harvests.
The plastic bins are working. For small residential lots in urban areas, I think it's the way to go.
You are doing well Eric, great solutions for difficult soil and a small space, thanks for sharing your compost making method.
Who gave a thumbs down?? excellent vid thumbs up
the eating sounds.
Just posed my self this question after i liked it and saw the ratio..
Those are the people that think food come from supermarkets.
I get irritated when I see a perfectly done video and someone throws in a thumbs down.
Most of the time they are misclicks
This longer form, full lifecycle clip is brilliant. Seeing your successes really makes me inspired and excited. Thanks again.
Thanks Chris
I just love watching someone who has grown peas eating them straight off the plant - they always smile and 'dance' a little. :-)
You are cute🥰
Peas are my absolutely favourite vegetable, but I've often struggled to grow them well. Hopefully, after watching this excellent video it'll be a success this year.
Thank you for doing amazing videos!🍃🌿🌱
Thank you, wonderful video, I shared it with my FB gardening club.
Thank GOD for my Parents, Grand Parents and Great Grand Parents from whom I received ALL this knowledge and more.....
Love, love, love your videos! I never get tired of watching them. Your garden is so beautiful. You are very knowledgeable and so inspiring. Please continue to teach us! Thank you so much!
Nice of you to say all that JuJu. We are filming the garden abundance tomorrow.
There is a man totally in tune with his Environment
And the changing seasons
I tend to think of snap/sugar pod as the rounder mange tout and the flat ones as snow peas here on the west coast US. The snow peas are definitely better for cooking, they seem to get sweeter, perhaps my imagination 😄 love your videos, such good information from a kind soul!
That is interesting about snow peas, from the horse's mouth so to speak (that is a polite expression! means you should know) and thanks for writing, and your name is more than half good!
Charles Dowding thank you! I took my name from the first episode of The Good Life as it was a main contributor to my discovering a love for gardening 💕 (and yes, a very polite expression. Horses are, after all, very intelligent and elegant creatures!)
Thanks, and funny the Good Life made it over the pond.
Great video Charles, thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Love the technical term "wush wush wush grow" :) love your video, so informative (not cynical). thank you.
No one does better start to finish videos then Charles... that's commitment for you!
Thanks so much
I like to soak my seeds
overnight before I plant the peas.
Does this improve germination?
I love this ... the man is making a living farming -- without a tractor -- manually with his hands in the dirt ...... while wearing oxfords! 😁 😂 🤣 Long live no-dig! Carry On Mr. Dowding, Carry On. Beautiful, this.
Ps. someone once told me they've never seen someone work so hard at manual labor while wearing Crocs as I :-D
Thanks Ted. Have to say it's barely a living, I need revenue from teaching and writing.
Hey Charles, thanks for the videos. They are in my opinion, the best gardening videos on UA-cam. I was wondering if you have ever done any container gardening and if so, what kind of growing medium did you find to work the best?
Thanks for the accolade.
I do little container growing and results are good with compost based 50% peat, "all purpose compost"
My goto mix is 1/3 compost, 1/3 peat moss or coconut coir, and 1/3 vermiculite but I like to try out different mixes once in a while.
Most of my peas sowings seem to just rot away. I’m grateful I’ve got at least some germination this year.
Possibly, you are over watering! Try getting compost, fully moist, then, sowing seeds, then leave unwatered for 3 to 5 days, depending whether they’re in full sunlight, or if it’s grey weather
Charles, don't get me wrong you are the GOAT but I've just planted my fourth planting of peas in August(home garden), my third planted 6 weeks ago are just starting to crop, you can grow peas from Feb to Sept from seed, UK and we like peas!
Thanks for pointing this out, it's more that I'm looking to encourage people to get the most from every sowing, which happens from the early sowings. Nice that you are managing that.
Thanks. I really enjoyed this.
when are you going to give us a hydro pea video? hahaha
A month is my guess.
cant wait. always enjoy your videos as well. you and Charles are my top growing subs and i always recommend to all my friends
You can copy his garden so easy. Everything he recommends work so good with so much less work and more of the fun stuff. Planting sowing growing harvesting Eating
Destrie that is nice of you to say!
"They do like a damp climate"
Hence, ENGLISH peas
Such a awsome video. I learned a lot. Thanks! Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Thanks Andreas
Off grid Sweden? That's badass!
Thank you for today's video. Seeing how they should look when harvest time was very helpful. Happy Gardening! Catherine
Very well demonstrated. It's especially helpful when you show the different stages of growth from seed to harvest. Still not sure what a pea shoot is: plant top? or actual pea & pod?
Ah good, and any shoot is plant tip/growing points/small clusters of newest leaves, therefore tender
You sound like Bugs Bunny crunching his carrot 🥕. But it's a wonderful sounds to hear. Thanks for the lesson. I just planted some peas.
Windermere, Florida zone 9b
I love your videos; I learn so much. Here in America, snow peas are harvested before seeds develop, so only the pod is eaten (for stir fries or fresh in salad). Snap, or sugar snaps, are eaten pod and seed. I am growing three varieties this year: shelling, sugar snap, and snow.
Hi Virginia and thanks for clarifying that one.
What you call snow, we call mangetout.
Have a great pea season!
the package said 30cm, so i made a 30cm trellis
my peas started growing longer than 40cm, so i added 30cm more extension... that they outgrew
my wall of peas are 100cm (3.21feet)
i dont know what happened
Wonderful! And again I am amazed about the superb audio quality, amongst other things.
Our efforts are rewarded Christian, audio causes more angst than anything!
That is what I wanted to say. How do you manage such a good sound quality even in windy condition? where do you hide the mic? ;-)
Charles is my ‘go to’ gardener when I need to learn about a uk food crop. Such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for making the video.
Stuart McCloud I know I get the truth when Charles speaks.
This is a fantastic video. Again, Charles, I really appreciate your efforts and knowledge.
charles you could make one of those mice traps that dont kill the mice for the greenhouse if u care about that sort of thing, u would have to check it tho or the little buggers will prbly starve and die
Hello y'all from Suwannee County Florida 1st amendment auditors...🗽🗽
Хороший горошек. Можно на bonduel сдавать =)
😀
I like a more starchy pea to be honest. John Seymour always said not to eat dried or frozen peas so you can get maximum enjoyment when they're in season but I can't commit to that.
Can I just clarify: for regular peas (not mange tout), is the pod inedible, or just not ‘good eating’.
At my partners farm, they were growing regular peas and I often eat peas, pod, leaves and all (just out of laziness on my part). It’s not dangerous or anything, is it?
They are fine to eat, just stringy!!
Thanks you, sir for sharing your extensive knowledge.
It's time to plant out pea seedlings here in the high desert of central New Mexico, USA. We only plant fast-growing dwarf varieties, started indoors in February, as our springs are too short and summers too hot for the taller varieties to produce much. We're following your advice on multi sowing this year (beats, spinach, onions, and leeks as well), and are loving the space it saves under the indoor lights. We look forward to the planting out process being sped up a bit, as an extra plus.
An interesting note on peas: we grew Sugar Anne snap peas (in the states we call the round edible pods snap peas, and the flat varieties snow peas) last year, planting far more than we could keep up with. Quite a few became too tough to eat and were left on the vine, only to grow into some of the best tasting shelling peas we've ever had!
Thanks JWS for these interesting comments.
Each climate needs adaptation! our springs are long compared to yours.
I think dry peas are underrated, having loved the flavour of my Alderman.
A little teaser video a few days ago and now the big one. Excellent information as usual. atb
I really enjoy your videos that show how to grow from seed to harvest. I have also decided to try planting a lot of my veg with starts like peas. This year I will grow purple podded peas. I’m getting ready although it will be a month at least. We still have snow ! Thanks !
Great and may your plants grow well
I will never stop being amazed how something so small like a pea can become something so big and beautiful! Miracle recipe of life my dude, amazing. Love your videos, please never stop making them!
So true! And thanks
Always learning amazing stuff.
That is brilliant. The only bad thing as you have now given me lots of work. Tomorrow I will build a raised bed and begin planting peas. Thanks for the great advice. Love it.
Great, have fun
Agreed about growing peas in a dry climate. I'm in L.A., which is really not that hot, but even here they're iffy. Peas are OK in Winter, but beans are better in general.
All this taste testing. I'm bloody hungry now :(
Very nice vid, thank you very much :)
I sometimes watch your videos 2 or 3 times to really make sure I know everything I need to know.
I use egg containers for the holders/pots for peas
They work so well you can even plant the containers with b the peas and it will decompose in 2-3 weeks
Hi Charles, am using no did in my allotment and having great success. Just having a problem with wire worms though as my allotment is newish and I believe they can b a problem for a while in newly cultivated soil . Anyway my spuds were pretty devasted and just wondering have you any advice for this season. Regards, Pauline
Sorry to hear that Pauline.
It's worth trapping the wire worms, using a potato cut in half and place them both face down on the ground, then check in the morning and you should find quite a few wire worms which you can cut or dispose of, and keep doing that.
They are worse in some places than others, and you are unlucky, but can come through I'm sure
Just bought some pea seeds yesterday :-) Perfectly timed instruction.

Charles, eat that fat hen! They are delicious, can be cooked asian greens style (my favourite) or spinach style
Haha thanks!
Thank you as always for another solid video ( I especially liked the little jig when you ate the pod;~). When saving the seed (snow pea - pod) I've generally just saved those that got away from me at the end of the season. Will this, over time, cause me to have a later and later bloom?
I have wondered that and don't think so as the genes are (I think) the same for all peas on each plant. Anyway, not in your lifetime!
I planted 10 peas and they all germinated. Then I noticed some were falling over and on closer inspection I thought the stem had rotted. I found out via an allotment group that the stems have been eaten by mice. So from 10 germinated peas I’ve now only got 6 plants, most annoyed,!! Is there anything I can do to keep the mice away?
Hi, I am afraid the only answer is a mouse trap. (Nicola, Homeacres Team)
Hello, What are the spacings you are using for sugar snap? In your book it states 15cm x 45cm but these look closer to me. Thanks
Yes, correct but it varies according to bed width so in the narrow bed these were 12-15 x 35, could have been 45 though as roots spread easily
Asked and received you diary (book) for Xmas looking forward to another simple growing year with no dig, twice a week watering and lots of harvest.
Sounds very good Stephen
Looking forward to trying mangetout for a change, (even though it reminds me of Delboy Trotter 😄)
I grew peas fine in Denver.. I can't get one sprout here in Rocky Ford CO either raised beds or in ground.. no clue after 4 years
That is maddening and I have no idea what to say!
17:09 That's me with my peas this morning
Yum
The crowd applauds
cause there's loads of pods.
Seeing you munching the peas : exactly what we do here. I’d have to double my pea production if i want ANY peas to make it into the house. 2 legged mice (husb and children, and me too) are an insatiable pest ;)
Fat hen is not a weed, lol, I forage for fat hen, it’s actually a lovely green to eat. One of the orachs. Love your videos, very helpful
Thank you so much for your informative videos. Although I am in the US, I especially enjoyed the one in French! So charming and beautiful photography. I noticed you often cover the seedlings with, "fleece". We call it, "floating row cover", however it comes in many thicknesses. Which is the best for general use in the garden?
Thanks Anita, interesting comment too, and I prefer 25 grammes per square metre which is 0.005lb per square foot thickness. Strong enought to last three years, you can buy thinner ones which tear after a few weeks.
im a beginner gardener at 38 yrs old LOL i wish i started it before now too not just veg though herbs and flowers too
Ah I wish you well, a good age to start
Your videos have really transformed my gardening. I have tried gardening for now two years and have had no tangible success other than a few peppers and cherry tomatoes. Maybe some small handfuls of beans haha. Over fertilizing, over watering, pests. Your calm and rational approach to having multiple varieties and stages of growth has really accelerated my skill sets and success. I've stopped using excess fertilizer (almost none) incorporated worms onto cardboard between rows with coffee grounds then composted soil to act as my raised bed. The cardboard has saved so much time and frustration with the weeding and costs alone that I have been able to plant loads more. Your way of using natural and simple solutions helped me transform one area suffering from excess compost developing rot I just planted more seeds in that area and moved in more worms to alleviate or suck up the excess foods available. Your videos over the last six months have helped me bring 30 tomatoes to start fruiting, peppers, peas, beans and more. This is the first year I actually see flowers forming and a potential harvest on the way! Thank you so much dear friend. You've been an absolute refreshing beacon of hope and knowledge.
I'm so happy to read this Jordan and thank you very much for sharing your successes. I can feel the joy in your words and it's wonderful, we all need lots of good news stories 😀
I learned so much from your videos but as far as starting peas in modules I have not had great success. They just don’t like being transplanted. I’ve had a bad year with my peas , I hardened them off before planting and they looked good for the first couple of weeks but they don’t look very healthy at present, and I can’t blame it on the weather. I will be direct sowing now and protecting with netting.
Sorry to hear that. Maybe to do with your modules or size of transplant? I put mine in small.
Yes ,perhaps I let them get too big
Great video from seeking till finish. And supports and all, I loved ur videos and how nice/neat/ and clean video you make. Thanks a million for sharing but knowledge for us. Who start to love gardening and have 1/2 year in start.
Many thanks and I am happy to be helping you
Superb videos which I am working my way through and so helpful. I grow peas and broad beans in my polytunnel in West Wales but have the same issue every year - every leaf of both peas and broads are scalloped by little brown weevils (I think!) and really knock back the plants. I seem to have an infestation in my no dig beds. I rotate and don’t use chemicals. Would early sowing help? Wondered if you might have some other tips? Thank you.
Thanks Alison, and that is bothersome. Early sowing will help, maybe having extra compost too so that growth is stronger. I'm not sure why you are having such a problem. Probably when you have saved your own seeds that will help as well, by increasing vigour.
Thank you for your helpful answer- much appreciated.
In our whole garden we have to pull up this weeds.Every month different type of weeds grow.
I hope that you can find time to keep removing them because then they will weaken. Also adding organic matter to the soil surface makes it easier to remove weeds.
I don't have a greenhouse and limited space indoors, but I have high raised beds, which discourage rodents and rabbits and most deer. Can peas be direct sown under a double hoop tunnel? Here in Wyoming we have frost until mid-May (zone 5b).
Yes that should work, sow early April approx, peas tolerate small freezing
@@CharlesDowding1nodig Thanks! I just found your channel and am really enjoying it. We started a 1/3 acre garden last summer, just clearing the area of brush and setting up raised beds and compost bins. This will be our first season planting and we're so looking forward to getting started.
Charles, please if you've time will you answer..
I'm in west of Ireland.. going to sow peas in the greenhouse and plant out later when they are strong. Last year the weeds took over. I'm putting them in raised bed. The bed is full of weeds. Grass. I'm thinking that the donkey manure caused extra weeds.
My question.. will I pull the weeds or cover with well rotted manure. I'm short on compost. Can I use well rotted manure as a weed barrier?
Yes, the manure can smother those weeds, 2 to 3 inches deep and plant into it. Then keep pulling any new grasses etc
@@CharlesDowding1nodig
Thank you. Il do that tomorrow
You have cleared up a mystery I've had for a couple years. I planted my peas and none of them came up I planted them again and still they didn't come up. So I planted them in trays and and they came up then l transplanted them to the garden. But we could never figure out why they never came up we knew something was probably eating them but didn't know what until you said mice like to eat the peas. Mystery solved I will alway grow my seeds in trays then transplant them. Thank you so much .
Well done and thanks
I will be growing peas this year. A good tutorial yet again.
Hi Charles I'm curious about your using rope to hold up the peas. Do you not have problems with birds.I would have thought they would perch on the ropes and walk along pecking away tops of plants . I thought you had to protect with netting all around like a cage. Please let me know your thoughts, it would save me time and brainpower trying to be a netting engineer if I'm wrong. Love your channel. Thanks K
Depends on your birds Kathryn, here they don't eat peas :)
Thanks for quick reply. Unfortunately I have wood pigeons at my allotment that love peas : (
Thanks for all the great information and entertainment. From Littlefield Arizona, USA
I enjoyed your video, so good! I heard peas are good fertilizer, how do you use it to amend soil?
Thank you Naomi, and it's not quite like that in that they are not a fertiliser! They fix nitrogen in soil to feed themselves, which is great but there is not much benefit for nearby plants, in my experience. They don't make a huge difference to the quality of soil either, because by the time we finish harvesting our peas most of the nitrogen they fix in the soil has been used by them, up to 97%
Thank you so much for this very comprehensive video most helpful !
Just love to watch your educational garden videos and we’ve learned so much. We have two grandchildren in Perth Australia, we are in NZ, when they came for Christmas last year my husband John had grown a row of peas for each of them. You reminded me of them when you danced and ate fresh picked peas. They demolished their peas over three days and not one was cooked! They loved them. Thanks for the memories! Happy Christmas to you and yours.🤶🏻🎅🏻xx
Lovely to hear this Angie and great that your peas were so tasty!
I looked through the video just to see Mr. Dowding dance! Found it! 17:10
I grow Oregon giants every year and no other variety has beat them in my climate on Vancouver Island yet! Thank you for your informative videos. I got your newest book for Christmas and I had to limit one chapter per day so I could savour it :)
Lovely how you like the book. I shall check out Oregon Giant as our climates are similar
Enjoyed the video, would love to see how you managed to put the supporting poles in. Trying Alderman for first time this year.
All the best
Good, and we use a metal post rammer, two handles, heavy
@@CharlesDowding1nodig I think I may have to invest in one.
How bad is it if the roots are slightly "disturbed" ? First time Ive started in modules and Ive not been able to plant out until today. The peas themselves are around an inch or two tall and most had roots escaping out of the modules. They were extracted and placed into the compost gently, will it be a manic resow this week or might they be ok?! cheers
This sounds absolutely fine Phil. The main thing is that the general integrity of each plant's root system stays intact, while there may be a little damage around the edge, and plants quickly recover from that.
@@CharlesDowding1nodig brilliant, Thankyou for the reply
Its SOOOOOO satisfying to see your garden. It makes me wanna do the same, even though i have several try in gardening, that just Went over my head in weed 🇩🇰
Yes go for it!
Thank you for this wonderful video.
jealous of the growing season there as im canadian and its may and trying to snow :"(
Sorry to hear that, surely it will warm very soon 😀
Thank you so much for your videos. This will be my first autumn growing vegetables and watching you makes me feel so inspired! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Ah thanks Maia, may your peas grow well!
Maia Jenik Maia, soy marita! Amo a este hombre y sus videos! Q increíble casualidad 🍀🍀🍀😘😘😘
I gave up growing peas, the slugs eat everything! 😕
what if my compost is soggy, should I still tamp it down like that or should I be more gentle with pressing the compost down?
And also to add a side note, dried peas are delicious turned into soup all day 365 days a year :D! Always so filling and nutritious. And if you're someone who likes dark bread, then pea soup made from dried peas with bread is perfect combo. Also, you can make a big bowl for even just two people. If you store it in fridge, it's delicious days later as well. It just gets thicker but you can dilute it a little with just water :) + you can add companion vegetables into pea purée as well: carrots, onions and garlic(which have been roasted on pan before). Salt if you desire. Pepper and/or chili. Not to mention healthy.
Thanks for the recipe, and yes I love dried peas too.
Soggy compost is not ideal and tamp it less for sure. Just it needs to be firm enough to hold shape at planting time, mixing in vermiculite would help.
Hi mate just a quick question... I got a bag of Westland compost about two weeks ago planted onion seeds and placed them in the airing cupboard and all of a sudden there seems to be mushrooms 🍄 with orange/brown tops on them! Is this normal?! I am new to gardening I also contacted Westland and that said it’s perfectly fine! Any help would be most helpful please and thank you Daniel ainge😀
It’s fine Daniel, the compost is from woody wastes so it’s fungi decomposing them
Thank you sir my mind is at ease now 😀👍
I direct seeded my peas in a planter box & a rat
dug up half of them then a strong wind beat
them up and then something ate all the leaves.
Time to buy some fleece. 🐀 💨 🐌
Best of luck for round two
@@CharlesDowding1nodig "Never, never, never
give up".
Thank you for the clarity of your lessons and the joy of eating own-grown vegetables - perfect
🥕😀
I like the techniques you used for keeping them upright. My peas got blown up by strong wind last year and they were all tangled. I struggled to separate them. This video gave me a very good ideas. Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed watching it beginning to end. 😊 x
Please continue the free education 🙏. Ive learned alot and have been thinking about the course.
Thanks for the info Charles
Could you tell me Charles the width of the fleece cover you put over the Peas when you first planted them out?
Thank you 😊
Yes it's 2m wide Denise
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I now have a width to work with 😀
Thanks again
I always grew peas in autumn to harvest in winter through to spring... I might try sowing in spring for a succession crop
