Pea Planting Time

GoDawgs · March 9, 2019

After about ten days with temps in the 70's, lows in the 50's we just had two days of 28L, 56H. The peas have only been up for a tad over a week so still tender. I know peas can hold up to cold weather but to be sure I covered them with leaves.

After the leaves were gently brushed off, the peas look no worse for the wear. Even the few who had popped up above the leaves and had that dark green greasy "I got toasted" look are ok. And now I don't have to mulch them later. A good thing!
