Had a patch of ground that last summer was tilled, rock
picked, and then seeded
with oats, annual alfalfa and white clover. Never did see
any of the alfalfa. It was
mowed a few times, each time thickened up the clover and this
spring it looked
like a going concern.
Early Aprill I tilled and planted peas; year old Lincoln and
Green Arrow from Fedco and
my own growing, fresh Cascadia from Fedco, and Premium from
Johnnies just to have some
treated in the game; all innoculated. After a week the
Premium came up....thats all, and at
an inch and a half tall they stopped. Digging in there
was not a sign of a seed anywhere,
except the Premiums and they only had a flabby brown tap
root.
About April 20 I got some Seedway seed (untreated) and planted
over all but the Premiums
but after six days there was not a
sign of them, they were totally disolved, melted, rotted and gone.
Looks kind of silly out there, those few peas from 2/3 to a
few at 10 inches tall and all loaded
with blossoms!
SO, what I would like to know is "What in Thunderation is
Going on"?
