Kelvedon Wonder Peas (Bounty | Ended)

The peas are doing okay!

At least three of them are. The fourth one couldn't quite finish sprouting so it was removed. It's a little strange how these three are growing at such wildly different rates, given they were all germinated at the same time and planted at the same time. We'll see how things develop!

My apologies for the blurry photo this time!

The peas are really taking off now! Although we're down to two, since the third one never finished sprouting. I moved them to far ends of the unit to give them as much space as possible going forward.

I wanted to see if the one on the left would catch up to the one on the right, but it's not happening so I'm going to remove that 2nd tier of trellis and train them both along the first one horizontally so they get equal light.

Thank you airscapes! I had originally planted four of them in this unit but two of them petered out before they finished sprouting. It looks like the two still in there are enjoying the extra room, at least:

We have little white pea flowers now! I love the flowers

The peas are trying to take over my apartment:

(Please excuse the mess on the table 😳 )

It might have been a blessing in disguise that only two plants made it, because they've sure taken off! They're setting lots of pea pods and growing flowers all over. I'm giving the deck a 10-second shake every morning and that seems to be doing the trick.

Oh, and these are very thirsty little plants. I don't think we could go 48 hours without running the reservoir dry.

Hooray for the Tom Thumbs!

It'll be a while yet for these before they're ready to pick, since they're listed as 75 days to maturity and we're only around 48 days. But I'll for sure let  you know how they taste once they're ready!
