Well, my peas died. :( they were doing so well, they sprouted out and everything the pods were growing. then they just gave up. honestly, i think it's either cause i didn't thin them out (by the time i got a chance to they were wrapped around each other so tight) or they were getting too much sun (someone in the house decided to move them on me). It was a learning process.
The carrots and watermelon are still going strong though.

I'm thinking they got too hot, Karen. I've never thinned my peas. I plant them from seed about 2 inches apart, double rows with a trellis for climbing in between.
Mine are almost on their way out, but I'm still eaking out a few. You're much warmer than us, and probably more humid. They do need sun, but I bet you could get away with planting as early as the first of March and still have a nice crop.

The heat got my pea plants. The 11 day heatwave we had didn't help them a bit. Ditto for my broccoli, brussel sprouts, and lettuce :(

Yeah, I thought peas were a cold weather plant. We plant them here in Feb. If not by then it's too late. I have never planted them myself, but a friend does. It's too much work for me, what with staking them and all that. I am not into all that work. Right now my field peas are running all over the place. But I have never seen them staked. SO they will just have to run.
