On Thursday I picked the first peas of the season! I also picked the first zucchini. The snow peas look great and taste even better. Plenty more still on the vine as well as more flowering. The Mammoth Melting plants have reached 6’ and are still going strong. I will defiantly be planting these again but next time I am defiantly going to give the peas more room between rows. There are only 3’ between them and that was defiantly not enough. The peas and beans are both trying to grow toward each other.
The field is looking good. It was planted 8 days ago and it hasn’t rained on it yet. It has been watered every couple days though and the soil is a heavier clay so it moisture retentive. So far the pumpkins have sprouted, some of the lettuce is up and a couple watermelon seeds have sprouted. I expect the gourds to be up when I check on it Monday night and hopefully by the end of next week the carrots and the potatoes.
