Sugar Snap Peas are over 12″ Tall!
The Sugar Snaps are thriving, most are well over a foot in height. Alongside the peas, near the edge of the raised bed I planted a few rows of carrots. So far, all are doing well. Most of my time tending the gardens now is spent pulling weeds. My biggest invader is the Horsetail Weeds. They grow in acidic wet soils and that describes most of my yard. The raised beds have helped, but it looks like I need to use more lime and mulch to help control their invasive behavior. I found this forum on “How do I get rid of Horsetail Weeds” informative, and will try some of the ideas suggested. Meanwhile, time to go outside and tend to the garden.
More tomorrow,
