It will be interesting to see the pea roots. The theory behind planting the brassicas and peas in a known RKN area was that they are planted and mainly grow in cooler soil temps while the 'todes are still inactive. Then by the time the 'todes get active the plants will be mature enough to resist and finish out. This was one of those springs where we had some heat early and the soil temps got into the 'tode activity range early.
So far, the broccoli, broccolini, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and collards are doing fine so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. And I'm making sure that any garden tools used on the non-nematode side of the garden are sprayed with 10% bleach solution before
they touch the soil.
