@ Jenny B – Your peas may have a fungus, a rust or a root rot. I’d do a little poking on the net and try to diagnose, in case it can spread.

When plants like lettuces, etc, bolt (go to flower) it’s usually because they are suddenly heated (a warm spell) or dried (a dry spell/a few days without getting watered). They think the summer is ending and they need to reproduce! A way to avoid this is by thinning them out. Just tear a few leaves off each plant, each day. It’s a win-win: You get salads and the plant stays in ‘growth mode’.

hmm also, when something starts flowering like basil or spinich, what did I do wrong and how do I replant?

this looks great. Had a question, my sugar snap peas are aslo growing like crazy, no harvest yet, but lots of beautiful white flowers, however I am noticing the bottom of the plants leaves are now turning brown/yellowish??? The blooms are only on the top half of the plant, it’s about 4 ft tall. Thanks
