- In this video, I grow a leafless variety of peas that supposedly don't have leaves and do not require a trellis for support due to its unique tendrils growing habit.

How can peas be leafless? I mean, photosynthesis is how plants produce carbohydrates. Leaves are the primary generators of photosynthesis.
So, what gives?
Quick suggestion: adding the month in which you planted so that we can use it for future reference.
@@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).
Where can I get some of these peas?
Q. Wat do ya call pees that fall off ya dinner plate ?

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!
same thing i love this channel so mutch and have learned so mutch even tho it doesnt always apply to my zone its still worth it.
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?
@@StayPrimalinteresting. 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! 👍🙂
@@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.
The mashed potatoes joke changed my life. 😂
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.
-1 to -2 here in Northern Ireland and I'm still cropping chard from the Vegepod in my greenhouse. I'll have picking salad leaves soon too.
Leafless peas. It's kind of like the Seedless Mango seeds I have seen for sale
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. 😊
Fellow Utahn here!
I just started some pepper seeds today. Gotta have something growing!
I Enjoy your humor with your gardening videos. Your one of a kind Gardener.
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
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.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, tips, and experience! 👍🙂
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!
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.
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.
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 and all the best with your channel! 👍🙂
@@Selfsufficientme thank you so much and please don't stop creating your videos for all of us 😊🌱🙏
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.
That pee soup joke is by far the best dad joke of the decade 😂 I can't wait to retell it to people😂😂😂
Nice looking mobile beds, thanks for sharing about your pea experience. ha ha. Charles
You are still one of my go to gardening channels. Thank you for your dedication.
You never cease to amaze me.Awesome video!Thanks again
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 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!!
I cant wait to try the veg pods! Looking forward to your review before we purchase! ❤ TY TY 🎉
Those would be perfect for my balcony! Thanks for sharing this experiment Mark!
You are my favorite gardening channel, I love your jokes too.
Thank you for the video! I love this kind of content and being introduced to new varieties!
Nice video.. thanks for making the effort and showing all your skills!. Best wishes from sunny Spain.
" let's get into" a new video 🎉🎉😊so excited love your channel ❤️
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👍
Your dad-jokes are really on point today! Thanks for the humour!
I come for the gardening advice, 🪴I stay for the dad jokes!😂😂🎉
The leafless peas had something called..... leaves... 😆😅😂😂
Just ordered my first birdie bed with your code. Can’t wait
Aha!!! You *DO* own VegePods!! I love my large model. Now I want to try those leafless peas in it!! Thanks, Mark!
I enjoy you and your gardening adventures.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Stay amazing mate, and continue being Self Sufficient Me!
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!
?
Great Video as always Mark!
Thanks for sharing so much knowledge.
You were the first gardener that I watched on RUclips and you are still my favorite 🙏🏽
Have a G'Day 😁☀
Same! He is great.
Thank you Mark!😊
Awesome. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for this variety. Also, loved the Dad Joke.
Motto of the story: Grow a bunch of different stuff and see what works for you and what doesn’t. 👍😁
Yes, never stop experimenting.
This can't be said enough. There are so many different factors that will determine your success that you must try stuff and see what works.
You made me LOL 3 times in this video😂👌 And thanks for introducing me to the "leafless" pea, it's very beautiful looking 😍
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.
I love my veggie pod since 2019, I love it. I do change the soil out at least once a year thought
Interesting experiment.Thanks for sharing. 😀
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!
Should add a link so people can join your page. You do tons of good work, thank you
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
I was looking to see if someone had already said this! Agreed
I could listen to Mark talk about peas all day.
The jokes don't stop in this episode. Great video Mark.
Grand Rising 🌅 . Thanks for the demo and for sharing this video with us 🌻 . #Respect #RealTalk
I had to order after watching your video Mark thank you😊
Markkkk !!!! I am going to spend my summer in asia this year !! I will try to grow something there . Can’t wait to try it !!
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 ❄️🥶🇨🇦
Your dad jokes really make my day!
What timing! I'm about to buy some bush ones myself. Guess I'll see how it goes in springs since I'm a little buried in snow right now...
Great test Mark, thanks and all the best for 2024 for yall ❤
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.
Great video as usual.
Peas keep posting them.
Thanks Mark
Love peas 🫛.
Simple as
Haha 😄 I gotta big smile from hubby with the 'PP' joke 😂
Dad jokes inbound! Love the guidance!
I think I might have to get them for a try.
Have a ripper mate!
What an interesting variety!
Happy new year 🖖🏻
interesting vid mark thanks for your patient experiment .Will do a wa recce to get some. Here in wa noone appears to know about them Cheers
Love my vegepods, perfect for proecting and growing my letuce
Great cultivation 😊
Great information right there! Thanks for sharing. "Give peas a chance" LOL you nut!!
Looks like leaves to me 😂 I would agree marc I would agree.
This was a really cool experiment thank you.
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.
Thanks mate.
The leaves of regular peas are great in a salad
I had this variety spring up out of my pea straw , which climbed my corn and sorghum and grew awesome
Good video I like your jokes .the vegepods. Look nice for growing veggies or plants
I hope you don't mind but I want to make a sign for my pea patch in our community garden, hahaha. You are so clever!!!
Maybe the regular peas first had to pick themselves up, before blooming. Therefor a little bit later then the leafless.
Nice video. Thanks
Mark, thanks for the laughs 😂. The peas weren’t bad either. Cheers
Love your stuff kick on love it 👍 ❤
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.
Nothing better than fresh peas! I call it garden candy!
Love these videos! Delightful :-)
I have 2 vegepods and they both are fall armyworm breeding boxes !!
Hi Mark, I love your channel. 🌱 😁
So good.... I just laughed along with you. I'd call them...."leaves." Yai Yai Yai!
Always enjoyable, dad jokes included.
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.
😮 Mark - going topless?!? Peas & Puns everywhere in those Vegepods - I laugh and learn at every turn watching Mark. ❤
Problem with growing peas is that no matter how much you plant, you never have enough. By the time you get done harvesting and snacking on them as you go, you find there’s not many (if any) being taken into the house.
Try growing Italian green beans. They have wide fuzzy pods but are stringless and taste very good when pods are boiled.
Such different flowers.
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.
I enjoyed your corney jokes, very entertaining.
Omg can we please have a meet and greet with the horses?!?
I have an empty grass field that I’ve just got some fencing done on. Food forest and orchard building to figure out soon
Interesting. Thanks for sharing ❣️
So practical thanks
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!
you always have the best Dad Jokes 😂
