Yeah my last harvest was entirely unexpected. I just ignored the plants because I was about to pull them out and there were 3-4 more gallons of peas when I was ripping them out of the ground. 25 feet of snow peas planted an inch apart was a stupid idea....I'm so tired of them. Next year I'll do a few snow peas, but some green and yelllow beans for the rest of the row
Yeah, I did 6 inches apart alternating with corn.
I planted 100 of each. 46 corn sprouted. ALL of the peas sprouted. I am NOT doing that again.
I learned this year that peas, beets and radishes tend to have a 100% chance of growing after being sown. I had to do so much thinning for the root veggies, which made a nice salad. I just let the peas live super close together just to see what would happen. I had 2 fences around them and ran every other one a different direction so they had better airflow. They only died after the Japanese beetles attacked. Thankfully the beetles only wanted the peas and left everything else alone
I stopped harvesting my peas at some point. I was pulling in like 3 gallons of pea pods a week. I like peas but not that much. They lived a lot longer this year than last and I have no idea why.
