Hello Elkhorn,
Quite the interesting name you have there.

Got some questions for you,
can you tell us a bit more about how you are
growing your peas???

#1. Amount of sun?
#2. Type of soil you have, loam, sandy, clay???
#3. Your watering practices? (ie; time of day, how much, system of drip or spray on with hose, etc.)
#4. The fertilizer you use/or not????

Thanks for any extra info you can give us!!

Weezie

#1 thay are in the shade in the morning till about 0900 then in the sun rest of the day .

#2the soil here in la grande is loomie .

#3 I water my garden right at dusk for about 30 min.

#4 I have not used any furtlizer of any kind but next year plan on puttin some chicken dung on it.

in one spot of the garden things do not grow very well I think the soil needs some help in that spot.

Elkhorn,
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??????
Usually peas like it cool, and I give mine morning sun and shade in the afternoon...
*they love cool weather like spring and fall*

Could be they had a mis~marked package????
That's common sometimes???

Usually the bush peas are a dwarf variety...
And if they are in the full sun, and no fertilizer, there doesn't sound like there should be a problem... I would say, if it was in toooooo much shade, that could be a reason, reaching for the sun...??? [dunno] ??? If you were giving them too much nitrogen or high first number in a liquid fertilizer...Peas put nitrogen back into the dirt...

What kind did you plant?????
