It's also pea pickin' time, every other day. The two beds are like night and day. I think the nematodes are working on this one:
The other one looks pretty good with just a few puny plants in it. Now, this bed is on the same side of the garden as the other but it does get a tad of shade in the hottest part of the afternoon. I don't know if that's making a difference or not:
I'll know when they get pulled up what the roots look like. Overall, we're probably not going to be getting as many peas as we want so I'm going to plan on planting more in the fall. Never done that before but there's always a first time.
Meanwhile, those four experimental summer squash planted in a known infested bed are doing well. One of the two molasses treated squash is still a baby as that hill had to be reseeded so I'll have two ages of plants to look at.
