Hi, Folks,Just quit raining here at our 1800 ft farm in the hills of central VT and we transplanting250 plants thurs 5/31, no tomatoes yet forus. I'm sorry for all who have the pea problem, but we have a great crop this year, not like last year. We held back from the urge to plant early and I think it paidoff.We are certified organic, but that is my market and choice, I like doing it that waybut I doubt if that is why my peas have done well.

We had poor pea germination, and very slow early growth. I put it down to wild temperature swings -- I planted the poor things a month early, and then winter came back.The weeds are growing, though. And the rototiller (with which I usually cultivate the aisles) is broken down; I thought I had it back fixed today but it isn't fixed after all . . .-- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 6A now I thinkFresh-market organic produce, small scale_______________________________________________Market-farming mailing listMarket Farming List Archives may be found here:Unsubscribe from the list here (you will need to login in with your emailaddress and password):
