Peas

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?TrellisP 12 April 2009 Trellis for supporting peas.
This trellis is convenient for supporting pea vines. I found chicken wire and string to be not convenient. The support is concrete reinforcing mesh, painted with tremclad anti-rust paint, supported by 5 or 6 foot fence posts and held in place with plastic ties. At season's end the vines are easy to remove from the mesh, which is a plus.
