So I just went to E-bay and bought 16 feet of green colored plastic netting. It has 4 inch squares. Should work really well for what I need.

Since I discovered those peas from Peace Seedlings I just can't get them out of my mind. Have to grow them therefore have to fix up places for them. I am starting with the most common way I think which is set up a trellis section with the netting and plant a double single row of peas. So a single row on either side of the netting.

I went with plastic netting to use for the peas cause I think it will last multiple seasons and I should be able to pull the peas off somewhat easily once they are done for.

Of course the thing is to have places to plant but I am starting today with a 4 foot foot section that I am fixing up. A spot that I will keep for both spring and fall planting.

So single rows of peas on both sides gives me 8 feet of peas. Sounds like a lot but its not. But its a start. Of course I still have my pots but the in ground with be for new to me peas.
