I think dry conditions are easier to handle, because you can always add water, but you can't take it away!<br /><br />I'm envious of your peas. I used to grow lots of them when my garden was bigger. Now I get them at the farmer's market.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469232416726264910.post-66559581529979700872013-10-15T09:30:49.884-04:002013-10-15T09:30:49.884-04:00I hope your fall plants do better too.

I hope those late planted ones ripen well enough. I'm going to pick them soon regardless.

I plant mine square foot style. I'm sure I sacrifice a little production on each plant, but then again more plants = more production over all. They really thrive in the heat and seem to do equally well in dry years as our wet ones. Because they like the heat maybe a pot would work. They are not bad to look at either. :-)Barbie~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14431239835933503549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469232416726264910.post-53895911209305951702013-10-15T08:50:59.321-04:002013-10-15T08:50:59.321-04:00Seems being stuck outinto the ocean has it's d...Seems being stuck outinto the ocean has it's disadvantages, too - wonky rain eing one of them.
