Companion Planting with Peas


Peas are a great addition to any garden, they taste wonderful cooked, or in salads, they are also a great addition to soups. A wonderful little vegetable. So what plants will your peas thrive by or help by being planting near them?

Beans
Carrots
Celery
Corn
Cucumbers
Eggplant
Peppers
Radishes
Spinach
Tomatoes
Turnips

Just don't plant those precious little peas next to:
Onion
Garlic
Leeks
Shallots

So once you've grown and harvested your pea pods the fun of shelling them begins. Many people still shell peas by hand, but some  people use a pea sheller to help in the process, just make sure you don't run unripe or overripe peas through them or you'll end up with mashed peas.
