Let's talk garden veggies (yes, I am ready for next Spring already!)
Did anyone try planting peas?
How is it to grow on LI?
Did you grow from seeds or plants?
TIA

Did you start getting the seed catalogs last week too?

Yup! How can you tell?
I bought a portable green house with 5 shelves for this year. I am not doing the mess of seed trays all over my kitchen counters for 2 months. I thought DH was going to kill me.
I got the one from Gurney's. Which one is a good source for seeds? I got organic seeds last year.

I haven't tried peas but I had the 5 rack greenhouse before DH built ours and it really works well!

I have one and used it last year! It is really great. I just got my catalogs too!! I believe I ordered from Johnny's seeds last year.
I never tried peas and I am debating on what to try this year. I had a bad bought of powdery mildew last year and it killed all my squash/pumpkin/zucchini plants.
I had killer carrots (still eating them) and AWESOME bush beans (as well as pole beans).

I've actually never ordered seeds so I don't know who is good or not. But I did get a Burpees catalog, and I see them sold in stores a lot too.
The only thing that irked me was seeing horribly invasive flowers in their catalog for sale. Do your research to avoid a problem!

i've been eyeing my burpee catalog almost every night!
i'm in a different zone than most of you, but i bet that peas would do just fine on LI.

i did peas for three years and i found a few things to be annoying... one being that you need ALOT of plants to yeild even one serving... then shelling them is a pita.... also they are not a full season crop so you get a harvest in late june early july and you are done.... so then you have these dying plants in your garden... imo it wasnt worth it
