[UrbanCropCircle] UrbanCropCircle Digest, Vol 10, Issue 2

[C A ISAAC]

Steve Solomon wrote in "Gardening When It Counts" that "Directly seeded plants will often outgrow transplants."  Since I don't know anything, and see this as an odd weather year (snow on the roof last night), I am keeping it simple and just chitting peas and direct sowing the rest.  My peas are finally showing their pale green necks so maybe chitting them worked. Fingers crossed.  

I figure no matter what you do, you can also try to direct sow those seeds you are talking about, and take a lesson from the 'odd year', but I hope you get advice that works for those happy little sprouts. 

Much Luck,
-Carol
