I'm wondering if you got bad seeds. I'd try a few of a different brand/supplier. Bush/pole beans are a must for my garden.

I order my seeds from Patriot Supply and it's been the last 3 years and last year I even replanted once. One year I blamed it on the chickens next door eating off the flowers and that was definitely part of the problem but not this past year.

I received two garden catalogs in the mail yesterday...I never order from them...too $$$... but it is fun to look at. I'd try a pack of seeds from the local store Sheri.

I might just do that but I don't want to waste the space if they aren't going to work. Seriously thinking about it.

I've ordered seeds is all I've done. It's time to plant peas but it's been so wet.

I will only weed my flower bed and also my rocked area in the back this spring. I may or may not add some flowers to the flower bed. Nothing extra will be done until I get moved.

I've had to call Patriot Supply about my seed order twice and still don't have it. It's going to be too late to plant my green peas. I'm going to see if I can find seeds at the store and I guess I'll cancel my order with them.

if you can manage to get by w/o the order from them to cancel it might be just what they need to teach them that people expect their orders when promised.

I called and had to leave a message about cancelling the order. I received an email saying they cancelled the order and the reason for the delay is that the peas and limas are on backorder. Should let a person know what's going on. I hope I can find some green pea seeds soon or it will be too late to plant them.

well I am glad the order is cancelled, no matter who did it. I hope that you are able to find seeds soon enough to plant them.

dodge seems like we used to send seeds back and forth back in the day but it did take forever. Remember Penny? I can't think of her forum name but I'm pretty sure she sent me seeds a time or two. Times have changed.

Do you have a lot of weeds under that straw? How do you support your tomato plants? Cages or string or what?

Do you have a lot of weeds under that straw? How do you support your tomato plants? Cages or string or what? No, the straw is baled from our wheat field so it is clean....we just cover the strawberry plants with it. Tomato plants do not grow well either so we plant cherry tomatoes...I just stake them with sticks and string. Our growing season is a challenge..but potatoes grow wonderfully.

Yes, I had that problem also...I had good soil, but then the weeds liked it also.

It takes A LOT of hand weeding to keep them clean....and I even used a few bags of bagged soil over my topsoil.

One day it was 2.5 inches.Now they say we will have a short summer.. OH what great luck.. Will the veggies ever mature?

oh my, Sunny, does your husband know what a lucky man he is ????? I just spent an hour out in my large flowerbed weeding and removing all of the dead leaves from the fall. This evening I will go back out and move a few volunteer Echinacea to fill in where I usually put out annuals. I am going to try not to spend so much on plants this year, only to have the new owners pull them all up and either remove the flower bed, or put in what they like instead.

I split a daylily today.....they tend to bloom poorly when overgrown. It had been there for about ten years.
