One of the vining vegetables that doesn’t always need support is peas. These plants can be spaced about six inches apart in your garden and the vines can grow without any support, although a trellis or stake can be added if you choose. Additionally, if you’re looking for a vegetable that can grow in a container, many of these species of peas fill this need. All peas are considered annuals and can grow to be about 24 inches tall with adequate sun. Like most vegetables, peas should be picked when young and the pods are still small. Otherwise, the peas lose some flavor when too large.
Strike Peas are known as a high producer of pods. The plant’s vines don’t need any type of staking or trellis and, instead, can grow in a bush formation.
