Repurposing stuff for the garden is an excellent idea and very eco friendly. Maybe you can try grow sweet potatoes in the beer crates, they should be deep enough, plus you can eat the leaves as the grow, they grow a lot!! For the peas, apparently if you nip the ends off, the branch grows more shoots further down giving you a bushier plant. Good luck with yours, the pods looks like they're coming along nicely

I was thinking about the local sweet potatoes, camote. They're purple - but the rest is the same. But I think I'll put them in the garden at the bakery. There's a lot of ground to cover there, and Danny, the chef, loves to use unusual stuff for his dishes, so he'd be thrilled by a camote plant to harvest leaves off :-D
That's interesting about the peas. I'll try that next time I sew some.
