SP> MM>planted about 2 feet from the house, so the back leaves are all 
twisted up

it

thorns -
SP> MM>ouch! They're like paper cuts, that's how sharp they are!

SP>   Michelle, have you ever thought of donning some body armour, and

Heehee... I have something better than body armor - I have a husband! Last 
weekend he was going to cut back the bottom leaves (which are rotting in 
the soil due to moisture) until we found an active wasp nest in it. We 
bought some wasp killer and went on the attack. We might try cutting the 
lower leaves off this weekend.
BTW, I put some "Melting Sugar" peas in this weekend. They are snow pea 
(edible pod) types. I figure I have a better chance of getting a crop 
before the hot weather hits if I only have to wait for the pods, not the 
peas. 
Thanks, Michele
