Brant, I started my earliest tomato plants in mid December. They were in 3 gallon pots and had fruit set before going into the garden. The squash were not started until about six or eight weeks ago and the sweet peas were started about the same time. With the early onset of very warm weather, I doubt that the peas will get any size at all before turning brown from the heat. We have been harvesting sweet peas for a week or two now, but the vines are still very small, maybe 14 inches at most.

Alex,
Ok that makes sense now. Bummer about the peas. I planted mine in January direct into the ground. The ones in full sun grew to about 6 feet and only 4 vines produced about a two quarts of peas a week, but the peas in the shade only got about 2 feet long and they produced tiny, miserable little peas. Live and learn!
