My husband and I live with our two dogs in a little white house (yes, there's even a white picket fence!) on the south side of town with lots of gardens scattered about. My love for plants is equally divided between edible and ornamental, so this blog will cover both. We find that we're mixing the two more and more-mostly because one thing an urban garden does not have is a lot of space. Last, but not least, Jon and I are committed to the principals of organic gardening, and while not experts by any stretch of the imagination, we hope to show how easy it is to do.
I also happen to be a chef, so if it's O.K. with you, I'll be sharing what happens once my lovelies are ripe and ready for eating, cooking, preserving and more.
Thanks for stopping by,
Heather
I think that its more likely that the peas are just done for the season. My shelling peas were done almost two weeks ago already, and they go in exactly the manner you described. Fusarium wilt is pretty rare this far north, Verticilium is more common but still not too much. Did you not get a crop? If so, perhaps a little more water next year, but once the sun is hot and the days are long, the peas don't have long.
ReplyDeleteAmen Farmer Josh!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I was going to be really upset to have that problem...it's funny, all the places I looked fusarium up in didn't mention locale. This is why it is awesome to be friends with someone who really knows what he's doing!
My peas look like this when they are done. We are hoping to get a fall crop in. Beefsteak Tomato's are in and roma's will be right behind. kale looks good heather.
