Encourged by you last year I sowed peas about now and they did not produce anything at all.  I suppose they added nitrogen to the soil grew very good calabrese this year on the same spot.

Hot here too.  81F.

Digeroo how many days before the first fall frost did you plant?

It was not the frost that was a problem  it was the vole.   It ate them all.   :o

I will have to try a much taller variety.  The ones I sowed in October under plastic bottles cropped well in spring, I think it must hibernate.
