Something HAS BEEN BREAKING THE TOP OFF OF MY SEEDLINGS that have been outside hardening. I don't know if it is a squirrel, bird, or what, but it is driving me crazy! Five plants have been neatly beheaded!!! It's getting to the point that I'm afraid to leave them outside now.

Thanks for the info.
I planted my peas the first week of March and they took over a month to germinate. And then.. only the snow peas grew - Not a single one of the sugar snap even sprouted (I must have had some bad seed). Mine are about 18" high now, but I still haven't seen a single flower. Being slightly south of you guys, we seem to be on about the same track for our respected growing conditions. I'll let you know if I get to pick any peas before they fry up in the heat.

(Spinich is doing lovely and I sowed it on the same day as the peas. I've harvested several times already.)
