Sometimes they grow and sometimes they’re duds
Often they flourish at times they may fail
Sometimes you harvest sometimes you bail

Bugs may infest blight may infect
Down on your kness you often reject
Water and hoe with sweat on the brow
All in the hope of raising some chow

See what can happen with one little seed
Be what can happen with one little deed
Dung with a good thought then watch it gorw
Stung with a new hope now that you know

The garden we need is the garden we weed
The garden we get is the garden we let
The garden we grow is the garden we sow
The garden we eat in is the garden we eden

Find a dish that you can use <em>that</em> in. With any luck, they’ll combine forces and you’ll have a plot of minty cilantro. Find a dish that you can use that in.

I have started to train the peas up to the rustic trellis, and I have sighted some flowers. I will definitely check out the link about which tomato leaves to prune to speed up germination of the fruit. I also think our squash is doing great, just our watermelons are slow. We had this problem last year, which makes me think they are just slow plants. But the peppers are doing great, and I thinned the carrots just in time, so everybody should feel very cheerful about the garden. Especially you, Nate! By the way, the mint hasn't even come close to taking over the garden. It would have to conquer the cilantro first, which is doing an admirable job of claiming the entire plot as its own. Good news.

But if you don't have enough trellises, you can reduce the bush/pole peas problem by planting predominantly bush peas but planting a few pole peas every few feet and placing a trellis over just the climbers. The pole peas will climb the trellis and the bush peas will string to the pole peas and to each other, thus allowing the trellis to support them all. Also, applying innoculent before planting will increase your yields on legumes, as it increases their unique abilty to fix atmospheric nitrogen.

The bush type are my preference; they are much easier to grow in the garden, IMHO. You can support them by placing several small diameter branches and twigs in the ground among the peas. They can them support themselves on the twigs. The climbers have to be trained on the trellis. I hope your mint is in a container. It spreads and is quite tenacious. The ever-lovely Sister Wonderdog (Our family name was changed when we moved over from Germany. We felt that people wouldn’t be able to relate to Wunderhund.) wanted some mint for the baby’s colic (we found that mint and raspberry leaf teas work well for stomach upset). The mint soon spread and I finally had to use the nuclear option to clear it out (Roundup). We also have oregano and sage, both of which require attention to keep them from spreading. But the mint was the worst. You can control it by planting it in a pot and then planting the pot. But keep an eye on it otherwise it will take over the garden.
