Peas Are In!

Our weather has greatly improve now, seemed to take forever this year. Over the last few days I have planted out all the peas, last year they were planted April 21st. I am slightly concerned about them producing this year. They should have been planted long ago and if summer weather comes on fast they may just fry. Time will tell I guess. I'll start with my problematic peas:

I ordered snap peas last fall and they just would not germinate for me this spring. I replanted twice in the rootrainers and only a few plants grew. I ended up getting new seed and direct sowing them on May 4th:

They were soak over night first.

I then planted two rows, heavily in hopes the Squirrels leave me some.

After planting I used a bunch of sticks to support them.
I like sticks because they are free and look good in the patch!

Today, May 11th the snap peas are sprouting. There is hope!

Above is a shot of one of the other peas that I grew in rootrainers. When the seed is good these planting packs really grow nice starts. Below are all the peas grown as starts in rootrainers:

Salmon Flowered Peas, Seed shared by Matron.
I am looking forward to these beauties.

Purple Podded Peas. These are a soup pea so they will likely
be treated as an ornamental.

Snow Peas.
