Peas

Pisum sativum

Plant portrait: Cool-season tendrils reach for support while translucent blossoms fold themselves into pods.

Garden rhythm: Cool-season annual in North Texas; sun, cool weather, even moisture, trellis.

Garden companions: Flowers may receive bees, though many garden peas self-pollinate.

Worth noticing: Tendrils, pods, birdhouses, watering cans, and tools already form part of the Kitchen Garden artwork collection.
