try to let their soil dry out a little more between waterings, it might help get rid of those stupid gnats, I hate those little bastards.
Nice harvest for your first peas, now you've seen them grow and are already revising your method and thinking of better way's aren't you? I love to grow stuff.
I'm not a vegetable grower so much as a flower grower but I think next year I'm expanding, I want to grow carrots, something they put in carrots at the store (preservative) makes my mouth itch really bad and I can't eat them. I also want to try potatoes and maybe some garlic next year.
