Sounds like an affliction, doesn't it? But that would probably be
spelled a little different.

Anyway, I ordered a packet of seeds for asparagus peas (Tetragonolobus
purpureus or Lotus tetragonolobus) last night for one of my novelty
vegetables this year. Has anyone grown them before? The web pages that
mention them tend to say the flowers are pretty, but the peas are late
to bear and don't produce much. Would giving them some support help?

Summers here tend to be hot and very short if that matters.

Thanks, regards,
Bob
