“What does the good Doctor say are the best spices for reducing High blood pressure and LDL, raising HDL and lowering Triglycerides?”
I’ll look that up today.
About peas: I started all peas inside and they didn’t suffer from transplanting them. The Snowbird peas, and Peas In a Pot, are blooming just now. The other one I have is Masterpiece Pea. Whichever one actually produces pods will be the one I plant next year.
So the whole issue of some seeds ok for starting indoors, and others should be planted outdoors never made sense to me. Johnny more or less confirms this as he told me he basically starts all his stuff indoors.
I think my problems with peas is the same as with melons, cukes, and cantaloupes. The first year I grew this group of veggies and fruits, they did great. Been pitiful since then.
The vines wilt in spite of careful attention to watering.
I can't be sure, because I am not an expert on plant diseases, but it looks exactly like fusarium wilt pictures I have seen. I just now finally ran across information that this wilt hits from 70 degrees and up.
This actually corresponds with when my vines start wilting and dying. I should be able to grow 60 DTM stuff if I start it early and get a crop in before the temps rise to above 70. That will for sure work for the peas, I think since they are cool weather crop. If that doesn't work on melons, I'll be trying the melons in pots on the concrete patio.
If that doesn't work, I'll have to give up on watermelon.
