Hi, Folks,
Just quit raining here at our 1800 ft farm in the hills of central VT and we transplanting
250 plants thurs 5/31, no tomatoes yet for
us. 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 paid
off.
We are certified organic, but that is my market and choice, I like doing it that way
but 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 . . .
