I Pea! Mostly a lurker. No layouts and just a few post. I do 4x6 size books for my grandchildren. I am just starting their 3rd one. One book usually takes me through the year with extra pages left over. Very informative site for scrapbooking. I will have to check out your layouts over there. My user name over there is medicated, lol. :)

How do YOU grow your peas?
Q
Comments (21)
Well, I have grown tall peas up on twine like Donnabaskets and Camp10, and my parents re-use chicken wire and T-posts every year. Both of those work fine. This year I'm going to plant around tomato cages made of re-enforcing wire since a bunch of them came with the new house and it seems like less work. Though I think I might need to be sure to get the cages in good so I don't have any troubles in the wind we tend to get in spring. For short peas I've tried not staking (floppy mess and a lot of the pea pods get ruined), brushy twigs, a bush bean support (a sort of grow-through gridabout 8 inches high), and short stakes and twine. All of those methods except the first worked fine but I ended up coming to the conclusion that I prefer working with tall peas more when it comes to harvest time. Cheers!

Pea variety for split-pea soup?
Q
Comments (9)
Dave, the field peas as per dilla's link and of what are typically used for "split-pea" soup are of the same family as "english peas" or "green peas", brought from europe to NA: pisum sativum. Southern peas or cowpeas of course as you know are the family Vigna from africa and have a dramatically different taste from pisum(IMO), Yeah, I know. Thus the use of "moniker" as opposed to genus or family since many use the common labels interchangeably, incorrectly but still interchangeably. A long discussion over on the Harvest forum some months back came up with several more alternate labels for them but I can't recall all the "we call them" names folks came up with. Sorry if any confusion. But whatever one calls them, they still are not productive enough in the typical home garden to off-set their inexpensive store-bought cost. Dave

Pea gravel in pots
Q
Comments (1)
Hey, Bart! Pea gravel is *usually* larger than you'd want....however, it can substitute for the granite grit. On occasion, I've found pea gravel in the 1/8 to 1/4 inch range which was very nice for my mixes. The other thing to consider is that pea gravel isn't very "sharp." Sharp, irregular grit seems to be better overall in terms of open drainage and root-development (abrasion). Josh

I'd give it at least another week and again two weeks after that. Not sure if the floating row cover is sufficient to protect from our sleet and ice storms without collapsing. It may work initially but once your seeds are sprouted they'll want something to climb on and full sun/bright light. Your supports you'll want to push into the soil deeper than usual to keep them erect under the weight of the pea plants plus any ice/snow/sleet on the row cover. I've used cuts from brushy deciduous shrubs and had them topple over if the main branch isn't long enough or thick enough, especially in mounded rows of loosened soil. We could still have this weird mix of ice/sleet/torrential rains mixed with periods of oddly warm weather so whatever you attempt for early crops is going to be an experiment. That's why I say plant a second row a couple weeks after the first.

I don't go to Pea because it's too big for me. I belong to several small private groups and that works for me.

I was overwhelmed there. I have been on scrapjazz for a while now. Perhaps I need to give 2 Peas another chance.

I pea'd for awhile, but seeing how the NSBR board was, I gathered up my toys and came home to GW............

Scary stuff out there Ladies, and the GS board is mainly enabling purchasing.

I do enjoy looking through the gallery though, I get some inspiration there.
