| I'm new to this gardening thing. I built a raised bed and filled it with 1/2 top soil and 1/2 compost from a local nursery. The peas I planted are looking so sad. they came in green and fluffly but now the bottoms are all brown and skimpy. Any ideas what i"m doing wrong? I fertilized before I planted the seeds. I fertilized again about a month later. I water daily. But I'm still not sure if that is enough or too much. The soil underneath is alwasy wet. The top 2 inches dry up. Any ideas after looking at the picture? |

| Peas are a cool weather crop They might not like it against that white fence if your days are getting hot |

| ooooh that white fence burns my eyes I'm not sure that's what it is but maybe pin a dark garbage bag to the fence and see if that works your peas really don't look bad though , the other thing is , if I'm not mistaken I believe peas don't like fertilizer (bolting)or soil that is always wet . Peas really do like cool weather frost won't harm them unless it's a long hard frost or several of them . |
