Pea harvest

Well, this is my pea harvest for the year. Three packages of pea seeds. A mix of snap and snow peas. My peas just didn't sprout well and they grew slowly. Same as in previous years. It was suggested I add innoculum, which I will try next year if I don't give up on peas. The lettuce is a much better use of space for us. By the way, I steamed the peas (5 min) and served them with fancy French sea salt. Very tasty.

Pisum sativum

I've given up on peas. The soil where I had them was too rocky maybe. Resort to buying them at the market. Fresh peas are so good!

I'm all for giving up on growing them.

I almost gave up, but tried again this spring and had my best pea crop ever. And it took literally years of trying.

It doesn't seem like inoculant was your problem.

I hope the capucijners do better. In my experience they are hardier and more prolific than most other pea plants.
