I gave up a long time ago trying to crack the secret pea growers
code for success.
I just soak a mixed variety cupfull the day before planting as soon
as the soil has thawed in early Spring. At that time I start a cell
flat to plant a week or two later. Then keep sowing seed for a few
more weeks. Mostly direct seed.
The weather is just so unpredictable especially when it is just too
wet, the seed rots. At least one sowing out of the five will take
and so worth it. Critters, probably birds, get their fill.
This Fall crop, what a bonus. And very sweet and crisp.
Not at all troubled by the two light frosts.
The Fall radishes are not looking so great. Pencils. suppose to be
fatties. The watermelon variety.
