  • Leggy peas?

    I was given some pea plants and planted them in the ground about two weeks ago and then covered with drinks bottles. Now some of them have pods growing and some don't but either way they all have skinny legs and can't hold themselves up. I've got 4 hand shaped branches about 3' high which they can climb up but they just flop on to the ground - is there anything I can do? Was thinking maybe building up soil around the bottom of them for the first 4" or so?

    How tall are the plants? I think the drink bottles have made them grow a bit too fast, and obviously inside a pop bottle they have nothing to wrap their tendrils round.

        If it were me, I'd take the bottles off if you haven't already.

        I use sticks and black cotton to protect from the birds.

          Peas do need something to climb, they don't support themselves....

          The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

          Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
