Two-week-old peas!

Peas and trellisSo here are my two-week-old baby sugar snap peas. They’re only about three or four inches tall, but they’re growing really vigorously. Almost every day they unfold new pairs of leaves and those creeping curious tendrils.

Here’s a closeup:

You can see they’re next to a wicker and yarn structure, right? That’s a handmade trellis; I bought some cheap bamboo rods from the hardware store’s garden section, and used some extra yarn to bind them together.

Pretty nifty, huh? It’s easy!

Just make sure to wrap it around each individual stake as you go. It stabilizes the tension and creates a nice structure for the peas to cling to.
