🌱 Staking or using a trellis is important for pea plants to crawl up and grow properly.

🔗 Different types of trellises can be used, such as rope trellis, wire trellis, or even chicken wire.

🌿 To make a sturdy trellis, use good-sized poles (about 2 inches square) and drive them into the ground.

⚙️ Ideally, place a pole every six feet to support the trellis and prevent it from collapsing under the weight of the peas.

🌉 Zigzag trellises can be used to avoid the need for additional support posts.

🌾 It is important to keep the peas off the ground to prevent rotting and maintain their quality.

✨ The trellis also helps in protecting the peas and makes them easy to pick when they are fully rounded.
