The last couple weeks have brought us ideally mild winter pea shoot growing conditions in the unheated greenhouse and the greens are doing very well! Creating beautiful green peashooty goodness fills much of my day these days….

A fun thing I like to do at home from time to time, is grow the shoots in decorative pots and use them as table centerpieces….especially in the winter time! Beautiful, inspiring decor (especially for a gardener) and you can eat it too : )
those look so good christina.. im going to have to find somewhere to put a pot… somewhere little hands cant reach!!! our place is so low on natural light though so im not sure they would grow that well! i may have to stick to sprouts. Have you thought of cloth bags… might get a bit costly though… or do bulk so people have to bring back their own bag… hmm it is a difficult one… trying to cut back on all that packaging!
goodluck

Hi Kelsey, try them, they don't need much light, really and the little hands will enjoy harvesting them : ) (kids seem to love eating them too)
I use cloth bags for my weekly basket delivery but in stores, it's more of a challenge…we'll work on it…eventually it'll have to become the norm.
I hope you can drop in for a visit this spring/summer! good wishes!
