Hi, How much of the thyme vine do you leave when you harvest some to cook with? I planted some in a medium sized flower pot on my apartment patio a couple of weeks ago, since then it has grown about 2" to 3" longer than it was when I bought it. I read online that I should wait at least 1 month after transplanting before I harvest some to cook with. Do you think it's better to only use the new tender green growth or is it alright to use some of the older part of the vine?
Peas don't like their roots to be disturbed. Try growing in guttering, then you can just slide them in a trench you've dug for them in the soil. Make sure you put drainage holes in the guttering though otherwise the soil will get too wet. Also make sure you have some ends on the guttering that you can remove.
Did you ever try just sowing the seeds directly into your garden? Your winters seem kind of mild and peas are a cool season crop anyway. As far as sowing in cells, it`s always safer to let the little guys get a fair root system before transplanting into the garden. It holds the soil in the cell together so it just pops out more or less whole.
Transplanting isn't too hard...plants want to live so as far as they have the rightish heat and the right soil wetness they usually start growing! And I know about the comments! I spend a few hours a week allready lol!!!
We had a rainy spring here too in Ontario but lately its just been hot hot hot. Due for thunderstorms tonight.......scares the heck out of Mukwah.......that and fireworks.....he is such a gentle timid giant. All the best from Canada
