The Laxtons and Lincoln peas are up!
I soaked a half-dozen of each type in water 48 hrs, then planted
them in 15-litre ice-cream tubs on this 15th floor north-facing
balcony three weeks ago, covering the seeds with 1/2 inch of
lakeshore sand and a film of dried lakeshore weed.
I have watered them twice, trying to simulate spring downpours.
We have been having day-time temperatures of around 11c and
nighttimes of about 6c, maybe as low as 3c. Unusually mild for
us.
This weekend I plan to drill a couple of holes on the wall above
each tub and put plastic plugs with screws in the balcony wall
and lace a simple string trellis up which my babies can climb!
