It makes me wonder if I should grow my beans this way.<br /><br />June, they are about 7' away from the tomatoes. I just hope that is far enough, but I might have found it on the tomatoes too. I hope I'm wrong.<br /><br />Lzyjo, They don't always last that long, but they did last year. Only the snowpeas however.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-69619076754578737512009-06-20T12:03:43.466-04:002009-06-20T12:03:43.466-04:00You peas look fantastic!

It's hard to find the right combination of taste and growth!<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about the blight, I've always dreaded it, but never had it, after all it is the malignant disease responsible for the great (or not so great) potato famine!Lzyjohttp://wormandflowers.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-35445871027539140482009-06-19T17:12:05.273-04:002009-06-19T17:12:05.273-04:00Oh, Daphne, I'm sorry about the potatoes.

I'm thinking I might sacrifice the spuds for the tomatoes.<br /><br />At least your peas are thriving. They are gorgeous!Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630593290368661236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-20546939254725084812009-06-18T11:57:20.485-04:002009-06-18T11:57:20.485-04:00Your peas look marvelous.

I made a 3-pole teepee (teepea lol) with three plants per pole and it's growing great but I don't know if I'll get that bountiful harvest I was hoping for. <br /><br />I think next year I'll grow mine in a bushy row like yours :DCynthia Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00821391882121548159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-29717612859201057442009-06-18T07:43:22.196-04:002009-06-18T07:43:22.196-04:00Annie's Granny, I didn't inoculate mine ei...Annie's Granny, I didn't inoculate mine either. I had vetch (which was inoculated) growing here last fall so I think there is still plenty of the fungi around. I hope you get lots of peas, but with weather in the 90s I think you will get lots of tomatoes and squash and not so many peas.<br /><br />Muum, late blight is the fungal disease that caused the potato famine. So it can be pretty nasty. <br /><br />Karen, I haven't grown them here before and have certified seed potatoes, so don't know why I'm having an issue. Spores must have blown in from some wild nightshade. If I grow them again next year, I'm going to grow a lot fewer since then it would be an easier decision to pull them out.<br /><br />Maggie, I did and left an answer on you blog. I'm always looking ahead too. What am I going to plant next year?<br /><br />islandgardener, so sad. Good luck on your fall crop. I grow one too, but it is usually much smaller than my spring harvest.<br /><br />DirtDigger, I need to get out my stirfry pan and cook some up. Or maybe I'll just have some plain. <br /><br />Engineeredgarden, thanks.<br /><br />Daniel, yeah at least we get peas and greens in this weather. My squash and corn aren't doing so well. I hope they get a move on or no winter squash this year.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-88691168083960221422009-06-17T23:37:12.750-04:002009-06-17T23:37:12.750-04:00Your peas look lovely.

I can't offer much help with blight as I have never had that before. Maybe your extension office could help out with suggestions. My inexperienced opinion would be to just leave them in and watch closely.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430349370394396989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-45191683966306685912009-06-17T23:01:51.859-04:002009-06-17T23:01:51.859-04:00I've never seen late blight on potatoes before...I've never seen late blight on potatoes before....I certainly hope you get it under control.Jeff Vandiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200011426236637927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-61046193181662163262009-06-17T20:40:40.741-04:002009-06-17T20:40:40.741-04:00Very healthy, Daphne!

I've been taking a wait and see attitude so far- and actually, despite the massive quantities of rain and the cool temps, I'm really not seeing much progression.<br /><br />Thanks for the pea taste test info.

I usually eat this kind raw so I'm relieved that they are the best you've found for that. Sorry about the potato blight - my mom has avoided potatoes in her garden for just this reason. She is more into tomatoes. I hope you get an answer and figure out what to do.

I had planted SSS, and liked them, but I didn't think the production was anything to brag about. I didn't inoculate them, which may have been the problem. My Tall Telephone peas are just beginning to put on pods, so I'm not holding my breath that they will survive our 90 degree days.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
