have late frosts and they will do well.
if anything they will be a cover crop.
we've really enjoyed the peas this year
and only regret we didn't plant more and
years ago.


ok, i can't find the exact date planted
but i think these sprouted after 4 days.
that makes the planting date around Aug
12.

today i see flowers, so i may get pods
before the frosts come.

just good to know it takes about 25 days
from planting in the summer in heavy soil
with full sun. watered often enough to
keep the soil moist.

from flower to pod not sure how many
days, but it seems to be only a few.

I had "Peas with cream sauce" with the fresh green peas from my garden
today.
