Today I planted three varieties of peas near each fence post along the “new garden fence”, and somewhat randomly in the main garden. I used a digging bar to create a small hole and added several seeds from each of the three seed bags to each hole. The digging bar was necessary to puncture the landscape fabric. We get a lot of what some people refer to as “chokeweed”, but what I believe is a variety of morning glory. I don’t mind this “weed”, but it does tend to outcompete other plants. I’m planting the peas as part of an overall campaign to grow some climbing plants along a new garden fence. Later, I’ll also add in some other climbing plants (that will be started indoors first, soon). Hopefully this will create a larger variety of climbing plants to compete with the morning glory (and I plan to plant some other varieties of morning glory as well).
