Peas

Peas are one of the first things we plant every spring, and they’re a wonderful crop to grow with kids. There’s something about popping open a pod and eating peas straight off the vine that never gets old, for them or for us. They’re a cool-season crop that actually prefers to go in the ground while it’s still chilly out, and most varieties need a trellis or fence to climb as they grow. Whether you’re growing shelling peas, snap peas, or snow peas, below you’ll find our tips for getting a strong pea harvest, from planting time all the way through to picking.
