Due to health problems in the family, and truly unexpected weather, I have not been able to tend to the garden this year. It wasn't till March that I got my snow peas in the ground and it just got too hot, too fast. I only harvested about 4 meals worth before they gave out. Last year, I planted at Christmas time, I was pulling 5-8 pounds a day off a 40 foot row in my front yard ( I was using them as a privacy fence while waiting for the Cape Honeysuckle to grow.) Oh well, there's always next year.
