Peas

[vfem]

Hooray for peas!!!

I have no peas or flowers yet even... but I have been eating a few pea shoots in my salads.... yum.

Green, I don't have anywhere NEAR what you are growing though... That is a LOT of peas!!!!!!!

Darn! I forgot all about peas when planning my garden. Hmmm... going to have to rethink some things and try to work in some peas... YUM! (thanks for the reminder )

Yeah, i think i planted a little too much peas ,but i do love peas, especially snow peas sauteed with onion and proscuitto really good the snow peas just melt in your mouth... .
You know you can never have too many peas. I planted about 200 or so Snow Pea seeds and about 225 Miragreen shelling peas. I sowed the peas two seeds per inch with two rows spaced about 6 inches apart. I figured it would be better to do double rows to save some space, then i'll put the trellis supports between the two rows. I think this year i'll use deer mesh netting for the trellis.

SaltyMomma,
You can still plant peas, its not too late
Choose pea varieties that will take the heat a littler better if your area will get hot weather in a month or so. You should be able to work some peas in the garden.
Good Luck!

Thanks! My husband made them for me and they were actually pretty easy to put together.... 9 landscaping timbers (3 cut in half), 20 five inch nails (the kind that twist as they go in), and A LOT of hammering. We got a great deal on the timbers so each bed cost about $18 to build.

I picked up these seeds today...

No clue if they are good in hot weather. I got them because my favorite peas are the sweet tender ones and because the packet says the grow to 24" and need no support.
Speaking of hot weather... I don't think I'll need to wait a month for it to arrive... it already feels like it's here!:coolsun But, that's probably because I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and haven't gotten used to this southern weather. Truthfully, I don't know if I ever will.

Is anyone's peas flowering, or even making edible peas yet!??!

The first blooms on mine opened today! Yayyyyy! I planted them a bit early to try and beat the slugs and snails out of an easy meal. Mine started sprouting the 12th of March.

Ok good, I planted around then.

I just didn't write down when I planted, when they flowered and when I picked last year. Which I should have!

I have the first green in my garden! The peas are popping up!!








Why am I even excited? I hate peas, they are for Dh and DD.... It must just be that green. I planted 160 ft.... think that will do it????
