Being the impatient sort that I am I decided to dig around in the pea rows today to see why the peas I planted 2 weeks ago haven't started poking through the ground. What I found was a lot of soggy rotted peas (of course the ones I planted weren't coated with antifungus) so I've replanted the rows with the hopes that the weather will stay a bit warmer and a lot drier than March was. There were a few tough survivors and they will hopefully be up in another week judging by the size of the shoots. Anne
It is easy to sympathize with the pea problem. The rotting experience is most familiar to me, by trying to rush the season. Peas cannot withstand being wet for long periods without reaching their germination temperature, which is about 65F. It is always annoying to have only a few come up, since one imagines a full row of glorious vines. Good luck on your second try. http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html
