Quick Notes on Peas

May 13, 2011 16:24

I planted peas (Sugar Snaps) waaay back when I took my first strategic gardening day off, April 11.  I planted a 5 or 6 foot row.  To date, a whopping 3 plants have come up.  Well, the seed dates back to 2008, so I guess it shouldn't be all that surprising.  Earlier this week, I replanted the row, overloading it with about 3 times the density of seeds.  Hopefully enough will germinate to provide a few vines for fresh pea-munching.  (Sounds like a bad euphemism.)  We still have quite a supply of frozen peas, left over from a couple of summers ago.  Next summer, I will have to plant sugar snaps in earnest, so we can freeze more.  We should hopefully be out of the old ones by then!  If not, I may just have to go against my apparent need to completely use everything prior to replacing it and just throw the old ones out.  Meanwhile, I suspect I might as well toss the rest of this seed out.
