Cauliflower and Blooming Peas

When I came home from work tonight I took a walk around the garden and noticed the peas were blooming!
These are the sugar snap peas. I also planted 2 types of shelling peas which are not blooming yet.


The broccoli and cauliflower have been under a row cover for a few days because of the freeze warnings this week. It looks like most of the broccoli has buttoned due to the temperature changes, but the cauliflower is growing nicely. Next year I'll wait longer to plant broccoli.




Also growing well is the Napa cabbage, but I'm a little concerned about cabbage worms as I've picked 10 off of my Pak Choi so far. I think I need to invest in some insect netting.

  2. My peas do not have flowers on them yet. I planted them 6 weeks ago. This is the first year for peas in my garden--typically when does one start to see flowers?

    1. I planted mine a little over 7 weeks ago. It depends on the variety. All of the ones I planted are "early" varieties. I would think within the next week or tow you should see buds, espcially with the weather getting warmer.
