We could then throw twine over it & tie everything up. We did that for tomatoes, but it could work for peas, as well.<br /><br />We turned them into a teepee the following year.<br /><br />See <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wishiwerebaking/2854770800/in/set-72157607287131056/" rel="nofollow">this shot</a> for the teepee pic - can't seem to find the other, but that was before digital photos.David T.

We'd always end up with things jam-packed together, and had a difficult time harvesting.<br /><br />Glad you're not harvesting whole heads - they'll keep on growing into a tall plant, but may need support as the exposed stalk gets taller. Sorta like Brussels Sprouts.David T. Macknethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074123750929335716noreply@blogger.com
