Germinating Peas For Your Garden

Nothing makes gardening more satisfying than your first harvest. This Snow pea is a gardening delight. I picked it last weekend and it was delicious. Peas are easy to grow.

Before you plant them you should germinate them. Every gardener has their tricks, but I find that simply putting them in a glass of water for 24 hours works wonders.

If you want to get a little more complex with your gardening, place them on a wet paper towel, fold it over, and put in a Ziploc bag for a day or so. Once most of them have sprouted little tails transplant them into the ground.

Note: Peas grow up! I use a lattice made of string but a few sticks crossed together will work too. Another idea is to grow them next to a chain link fence or any other vertical object that they can grab on to.
