LOL Just like if you are on a diet and do not see any weight loss but others who do not see you daily notice.

I know what you mean. Then there are the times you think you posted a pic more recently than you thought and suddenly it’s been 3 weeks.
Your peas look really healthy!

We've got flowers! This is the smaller plant and it only has one bunch, it's sister has two bunches and is about 25% larger overall.  |

Wonderful!
I really must get myself one of those grow bowls.

Pea plants are pretty. Makes me want to plant another pea garden.
Are they clinging to the trellis yet?

"Cling" is probably the right word. They grab it but don't latch on like the cucumber does. They do seem to be much happier since I added it.

Apparently, I really haven't been paying enough attention- not only have the plants bloomed, there are actually a couple pea pods going.  |

I really should do another round of these in a regular grow deck right after this- it would be really interesting to see if they really do better in the grow bowl, or if they would be just fine without it.

That would be a great experiment!

Planted the grow deck with these today in the Bounty next to this one.
As an interesting point of reference, the germination time was about right: 7-10 days, but "days to maturity" seems to be reduced by about 1/3. The packet lists 58 days, and I should be harvesting my first pods right around 40. However, the plants aren't very dense, so I am expecting a smaller harvest from these than I would get in a container. I'll have to wait and see how they do on the grow deck, or if they will fill out a bit more in the coming weeks.

These did eventually die back and I've terminated the grow. I only got a few handfuls of peas, so I don't think they were worth it. I've started a comparison grow in a regular Bounty deck at a higher density, so we'll see how that works out.
