Just starting to bloom. I have very few large pea plants though since the squirrels ate so many seeds early in the season. I have kept planting though and just this week I finally have lots of tiny sprouts. I wonder if these will produce peas before the summer heat kills the vines?
The squirrels got some of my sunflowers this year. I have one big one left. I hope it makes it. Luckily they left my peas alone. Right now it is flowering like your beautiful blossom.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm trying peas for the first time this year and waiting for the flowers.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Mine just flowered too! :D
ReplyDeleteWe are just south of you still in the same zone (Providence). Our Blue and Yellow peas are doing quite well have small pods already. However the broccoli, brussel sprouts not doing well. I think its all the rain and no sun!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the plant status updates. I am a bit west, Worcester County, and reading your blog is both great inspiration and a good guide for how things are growing given weather this spring. After reading this I went out and can see the first buds on my pea plants. Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteMy peas have just started to take off and bloom this past week. I started mine in peat pots, it fixed my squirrel problem but it really didn't get them growing any faster.
ReplyDeleteThis has been an odd spring. I think most gardens are a bit slower. I know they definitely are here in the Midwest.
ReplyDeleteHow about adding row cover for your squash? I'm using it because I had SVB issues last year, and my plants seem fine - though not as big as I would have hoped for by now.
This year the tomatoes that I kept the wall of water on longer are noticeably bigger than those that I removed them from once we had a couple of 80s days.
I lost all my peas to a rabbit this year. My plants haven't started to bloom yet so I'm still not sure I will get any peas.
ReplyDeletePea blossoms are so delicate and beautiful, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI think it was slugs that got my first batch of peas... but the eggshells seem to have protected the second batch! Hope you get some!
ReplyDeleteAll of my early sown peas were left alone but the more recent pea and bean plantings are being eaten by various critters.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Columbus, OH and my peas just flowered yesterday! This is my first garden (with tomatoes, peas and some squash), and it looks like peas will be the very first thing I get to harvest. Yeah! :0) I hope you get a good crop in before the heat arrives in full force!
