Second planting of peas
I live in Pittsburgh PA, and was wondering when would be a good time
to plant a second crop of snow peas. I have tried in the past, and it seems as if I did not have good germination. July's normal temperature is usually in the lower 80s, but we can have days in the 90s also. Does higher temperatures affect the germination rate? Thanks Tom |

ups.com... I live in Pittsburgh PA, and was wondering when would be a good time to plant a second crop of snow peas. I have tried in the past, and it seems as if I did not have good germination. July's normal temperature is usually in the lower 80s, but we can have days in the 90s also. Does higher temperatures affect the germination rate? Thanks Tom I'm in Rochester NY, which is theoretically one planting zone warmer than Pittsburgh, and I plant the late crop in mid-August. You should plant yours about two weeks earlier. I've never noticed that the germination rate is affected, but no two gardens are alike, even in the same neighborhood. If you're concerned, get yourself a roll of dark colored window screen and make a tunnel over the planting row, in an inverted U shape. This will provide some shade. Remove it when the plants get big enough that the tunnel gets in the way. |

Does higher temperatures affect the germination rate? I had my very first garden in Rochester. I was a student at RIT, and the school plowed an area near the married student apartments so students could plant gardens. It was the best garden I ever had. The summer was dry, and I was too cheap to buy a hose, so I carried buckets of water to my garden. Having arrived in Rochester in December from California, it was hard for me to believe that Rochester had any color other than white. But once spring had sprung, it was fun to see all the people heading to the garden center for their seeds, and things. Tom |

Corn Hill has been totally bulldozed to make room for Paychex Park, a field hockey stadium. And, the police search homes regularly to make sure everyone has a package of the worst hot dogs in the universe, Zweigles. I keep a package frozen to satisfy the storm troopers, but it'll never be opened. Red hots or white hots? And damnation, they coulda flattened Mapleton and earned the admiration of everybody! it could have been Xerox... it could've been Xerox!! |

I'm actually getting nauseous thinking about Zweigles. |
