That's pretty good! Twenty days since the end of August. What kind of peas are those?Jogeephus":164daahl said:Planted peas at end of August with the rain and am picking them now.
Wow! They must be on steroids :mrgreen:, it must be that 'stuff' Jo works into his ground . I know sugar snap and snow peas are quick to mature, usually around 55-60 days. It always amazes me to see new varieties coming out with the 'days to harvest' getting less and less, some day we will be able to grow a pumpkin in a month.ga.prime":3dfmz3i2 said:That's pretty good!

The other day I found a push planter that turned into a cultivator at a hardware store. This contraption is built for small seeds like turnip and drops one seed at a time at the correct spacing. Its hand made by the amish and I gotta say I am very impressed with the craftmanship. Its pretty expensive but the handles are made from wood (ash I think) and its just like one my grandfather had less the planter option. I'm really thinking about buying the thing. I know it won't pay for itself but just to have something of this quality is very tempting. It would definitely help with things like carrots, onions, brocolli or other small seeded plants that you grow from seed.
