Update – Container Peas
There have been some positives and negatives with the container peas.
The Oregon Sugar Pod that I planted in the hanging basket has done well. This photo was taken a few days ago and the seedlings are already over an inch tall and have started to develop another set of leaves. There are about 10 seedlings so far. I will have to add some soil when they are a little bigger because I forgot that the soil compacts after watering.
The Little Marvel on the other hand has not germinated as well, and I have only one seedling in 20 days, so I am reseeding the pot and just adding soil on top. I poked around to see if there were any seedlings on their way that just hadn’t broken through the surface yet, but there was no sign of life. I didn’t add inoculant as I had already put some in during the first sowing, so when the roots reach that level the inoculant should take effect. Let’s hope it works better this time! Perhaps I put too much soil on top… or perhaps the seeds were eaten?
