Peas Galore!

It's really exciting to see plants sprouting out of the ground from seeds that I planted a couple of months ago.  In fact, between the rainy May and sunny June, my pea plants are out.of.control.  Work has been busy and we're in the process of remodeling our basement, so my garden has been a little neglected.  This weekend I ventured back there to check on the progress and realized my pea plants were attached to everything! Yes, the little stringie things that allow them to climb had instead wrapped around the neighboring vines, causing one.giant.lump of pea plants.  I spent about 30 minutes trying to gently untangle them and only lost a couple of plants.  Since I planted so many more seeds than the past years I had to take TWO trips to Home Depot for plant stakes to hold them all up.  They're all set up now, and I just need to remember to occasionally go out there and keep tying them up as they continue growing.  I can't wait for yummy home-grown peas (and tomatoes, green beans, green peppers, cantaloupe, and watermelon)!
