It always amazes me, that a single plant produces all that vine! You have three plants, but still!
M
Oh yeah, I was pretty amazed when I realized just how much vine each plant had!! It's a tangled mess, too

TrainingUntangled the pea vines and tied them for support.
I should have been paying more attention to these. They were horribly tangled and a total pain to get tied up. Will watch them closer from now on!!

Do you have a stepladder handy for tying up the snow peas? How tall will they get?
M
I do! I had to get my tallest step ladder out to get to the top of the machine so I could connect it to my phone, and left it in there. These are Dwarf Snow White sugar snow peas from Park Seeds, they get about 2.5 feet tall.
