I also have peas in pots by the stairs going up to the front door and those peas are vining up the vertical part of the rails.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12054057713267875769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-45692345076384953402011-05-27T01:48:49.474-04:002011-05-27T01:48:49.474-04:00What are you using for the peas to vine up?

So something to watch for, if you're not getting the results you should, and you've had a lot of rain, you might need to do a little extra fertilizing. That you are doing peas is good because they help fix the nitrogen. Mine are flowering, but I am south of you in Ohio and it's been a bit warmer here.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852362833362246151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-48932297927687017232011-05-26T13:23:32.228-04:002011-05-26T13:23:32.228-04:00Yup.

A lot of times when I thin things like that that the sprouts can be eaten, I make sure one of the kids is standing near me, so I feed them the picked off ones rather than just tossing them! lolChris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12054057713267875769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-61486592353870861872011-05-26T13:05:54.232-04:002011-05-26T13:05:54.232-04:00LOL...

I planted some lettuce in those little soil pucks, expecting to be in our new place about a month ago. Still haven't moved, so I had to give them to a housemate to plant in his garden. They might live... In any case, it's looking good!RevAllysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647500969442410706noreply@blogger.com
