Title: Pea seedlings
Post by: caroline7758 on January 04, 2009, 20:45:24
I sowed some Meteor peas in my cold greenhouse in October. They are growing ok and are now about 2-3 inches tall but the leaves look asif they have been chewed. What do you think are their chances of maturing into good plants?

If it is just little slug bites out of the outside of the leaves should be OK... I'd be worried about pigeons/mice who will tear throught the stem and take out the growing tip... then no chance...  :-\

Will have a closer look tomorrow. The sweet peas nearby haven't been touched for some reason.
BTW, Saddad, i think you've spent too much time on here today, as have I!
