But the peas have grown so much I had to do something to stake them! I watched an online video and saw that peas will climb, but I didn't realize their "feelers" would be trying to make them climb this early! So, with nothing else to use, I re-purposed my tomato stakes into a somewhat pea-friendly vine "trellis":
Hopefully this will work ok. I had to try to untangle some of the peas from each other because they were already latching onto each other since there was nothing else to hold onto. I will keep an eye on them and add more of the cross-bars as needed to the stakes as the peas grow.
The peas are cold-weather plants, so they will be long gone by the time the tomatoes are tall enough to need these stakes. Hopefully I will get a decent amount of snow peas from these plants! (Why are snow peas so difficult to find? I can't even find them in the frozen sections of grocery stores around here.)
