RobinD said:Hope your beans do something, Rita....guess you can always use a cover on them if frost is expected......I pulled out my 1st planting of bush beans......I'll never get the 2nd crop of peas....every last one is eaten....there is a hole in my veggie garden.....must be a chipmunk.....could strangle it!


If we get frost the beans will be goners as I am not going to fuss with them. As I was planting them I was saying it is too late but nothing ventured nothing gained.

Sorry about your peas!!

The peas I planted on pots are a compleate loss as the backyard birds keep pecking at them and pick off all the leaves and growing tops. Strange as they never bothered the spring crop.

The peas I planted on the tomato cages needed more to grab onto which wasn't there. So they flopped and the slugs ate those up. But the peas inground on trellis netting are all doing fabulously. Tall and full of flowers with pods already setting.
