I picked up some Tom Thumb Pea seeds from the Seed Savers Exchange, and since they tend to be short enough that they're often grown in containers, I thought I'd try growing it in a Sprout. I'm using two pods, each with one seed, and just plain water for now.  |

I need to figure out what to do for covering the pods soon... and figure out how much nutes I should give it.  |

I guess I'll skip the pod covers on these, they seem to be doing a good enough job on their own.  |

Pea Plants are beauitful (I know I say this all the time) and graceful they way they grow and the way the tendrils form and peas pop out.

Yay! Such a cutie. I found them delicious and with a great crunch just picking them off and snacking raw from the machine!

I haven't tried eating any yet, but I'll definitely be growing these again. The tallest of the two is only 7" high, and required no trellising. Great for small containers.  |

Very happy with this project - the peas are almost at end of life, I've left one pod to mature / dry out.

I've added these to my list to try. Looks like a good project for a harvest or sprout.
