Lovely peas! What are you using for starting mix?
Peas are going in the ground this morning. Been bringing them out for a few hours a day to harden them off. Lost two komatsuma seedlings. The mix in those two cells just doesn't suck up or retain water. Must be mostly coir fibers or something. I did notice some chunks of nothing but fiber in the mix and tried to crumble and mix in with the rest. Guess I'll just pull them out from now on.
I have a 7 foot gate I made that I'm not using so I stuck two t-posts in the ground and wired the gate to it. Both type of peas are bush, 2-3 foot tall but I still like having something for them to cling to so they don't get knocked down in a heavy rain with gusty wind.
Planting the peas out will open up 30 cells for something else. Maters are next in line but I don't need 30 so I'll do some peppers too since those are next in line. Johnny's seed starting date calculator gave me Mar 18th - Apr 8th for maters and Mar 25th for peppers. Thought it was weird that they didn't give a date range for peppers. Oh well, three days early on maters and ten on peppers. Calculator gave me transplanting out date of May 13-20th for maters and May 20th for peppers. Will play that by ear depending on weather.
