Oh yes, definatly shade them if you can. Hot weather is bad news for peas!
I have blooms on one of the pea varieties I planted, Norli. No blooms yet on any of the others and that is good as it is still early. But not that hot here lately which again is very good. I would take a picture but it is raining so maybe tomorrow.
I did plant my half pound of Cascadia sugar snap peas on August 22 and those are coming up already. I never got to plant those seeds earlier and finially had room because of a while bunch of Tall Beared Iris I moved just recently to make the iris area into a veggie garden. I wanted to get that bed ready for veggies sooner but just got to it recently so what can you do. I know it is late here for planting peas but we will see.
Hate hornworms. Fortunatly the backyard birds here have quickly taken care of any that showed up around here.
Oh yumm on your veggie harvest for today. What are you making for lunch?
