I’ll be the first to admit it. For a while, I thought wheatgrass was one of those “health nut” foods that people raved about just because they thought they were being healthy. But I knew I could grow wheatgrass myself, so I experimented with it. After I realized just how easy and fun it is to grow, and that it legitimately has some nutritional benefits, I changed my opinion on it. Sure, it’s not the panacea that some people think it is, but it’s cheap and simple to grow. Also, it’s a great addition to any ​juice I make with one of those fancy juicers everyone has hidden away in the cupboard. So are you ready to grow wheatgrass, too? Let’s get growing!

Have you ever wondered how to grow peas? Peas are one of those tastes that embodies spring: a little crisp, a little sweet. Knowing how to grow peas means we always have access to that wonderful flavor. But peas have an interesting history, too! Before agriculture was developed by humans, peas were a staple food that hunter-gatherer peoples would forage regularly.​ Interestingly, the Romans believed that fresh peas were poisonous, so they dried all peas before consumption. This was the common practice until a French gardener under the reign of King Louis XIV developed a pea hybrid called petits pois. These smaller, delicious fresh peas exploded in popularity with the king, and thus spread to worldwide appeal. While we think of peas as a vegetable nowadays, biologically the pod is considered a fruit, and the peas themselves are seeds. All peas are considered to be part of the legume family, along with beans and other podded produce. Without further ado, let’s dive into the world of growing Pisum sativum, the pea plant. We’ll go over how to grow peas, what environments are optimal, and even how to store them for eating later!
