First photo:
Pea plants that I started from seeds. Not sure if I will get any pods from these because of temps rising, but it's nice to watch them grow. Planning to separate them out soon.

Second photo:
Potato planted from store that sprouted  in mid March. About 1.5 month left until I see how many potatoes I have.

i don't know if growing peas in a shadier spot would enable podding. maybe shade plus mulch & a sunken/depression bed* for cooler soil temps, all while not creating a drainage problem. etc micro-climate methods

good luck with your vegetative crew.

*the opposite of a raised bed.

Thanks, I'll look into a sunken bed for this grow season. The biggest issue is the intensity of the sun light between 11am-4pm.  Our local nursery advised must things that would be full sun in other regions is partial shade in our area except trees.
