Planting Date:  12/28/13


First Harvest 3/27/14

89 days for two little pea pods with only one having two full size peas.  Just not meant for growing inside.  They just take too much room to get any substantial harvest.

Bigfoot is getting hungry.  Pea pods are forming.  Although he wonders how full of a stomach he really could get.  I guess you shouldn’t be surprised if he shows up in your house and is eating something out of your fridge.

Bigfoot likes to eat peas, so he is growing them inside this winter.  He planted a variety called Tom Thumb that he got from Seed Savers Exchange.  It is supposed to only take 50-55 days until harvest and they only get  8″ tall.  Perfect for planting inside in pots.  He planted the seeds on October 12, 2013 and they germinated on October 18, 2013.  He is just waiting now for them to start blooming.  He wonders how fast they will mature indoors.
