Yup - he hacked away at the lower leaves this weekend! The wasps came back 
though, so we have to spray some more...

Ah heck... the flowers themselves are a pretty sight, so if I don't get any 
peas, it's no big loss I guess. I planted them right next to a chain link 
fence so I didn't have to put up any trellises for them. Now my main 
problem is to keep cats from thinking the freshly turned soil makes a good 
litter box. I may put some chile powder out there this week to see if that 
dissuades them. 
Have fun, Michele
