[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 542905, member: 1514"] Tia, you may have simply planted the wrong type of peas too. Those could be the type that are meant to be dried peas. You could just pick them now and freeze them until you use them by soaking and making pea soup. I made that mistake one time. Did I mention I hate gardening. Farmers markets are much better in my book. I can go get produce without the work. Pole beans are fairly hardy. They like to climb fences. They are also called Kentucky wonders. Your broccoli got in the ground late I think. Normally it is a colder weather plant. Did you look at the back of the seed packets when you planted them? They show when you should plant them for each region and with the winter we had plus the fact that our summer came on like a blast oven, I think they just got hit too hard. You may have to try again in the fall. I would try planting collards or spinach in the fall for harvesting towards November and December. Im telling you, you can sell fresh collards for 2 dollars a head all day long between thanksgiving and New years eve. And you should put in hills of sweet potatoes. Once you pull those veggies up, put a ton of collards in, as many as you can because you can make quite a bit of money. Just put a sign up in the front yard. Can you have a couple of chickens where you live? If so I would get 4 egg layers. That would keep you and easy child in eggs year round. [/QUOTE]
