>> they never make it to the house, much less to the table
Yeah, I have to plant more snow peas next year.
After months of being slow and coy, my main patch of "BUSH" snow peas just went into overdrive and grew and yielded well ... and then overwhelmed the flimsy trellis I put up for them .. and then tipped it over!
(Oregon Sugar Pod II - I think it's great that these get even sweeter as the peas get lumpy and the pod thickens. But I don'rt wnat to leave them on the sparwling bush so ong that it stops putting out new pods. I assume it's like deadheading: encourage more pods by picking old ones.
Next year, instead of using cheap flimsy bamboo twigs from Home Depot for a trellis framework, I'll anchor it with 4 steel angle irons I just dug out of the recycle dumpster at work. And thenmaybe hunt to see if there is such a thing as "pole" snow peas.
One of these years, I ~hope~ to grow usable bamboo stakes and poles of my own.
