This bed was turf Friday at noon. Sunday at 7:00 PM we have Paper pots, pre-starting, and patience gives you this. The plants are: Marrone Bell Peas (beans?), lettuce, Monk Peas on the left, and Chestnut Flavored bush beans on the right. Grungy did all of this, including starting the peas and beans and making the pots they were started in.

Wow, great job! Are monk peas the same as the LISP Monk's Madness mix?

It looks great! Could monk peas be similar to Capucijners? Capucijners get their name from the Capuchin monks that used to grow them. Are they soup peas?

The Monk peas and the Marrone Bell peas (beans?) are from Purcell Mountain Seeds in Idaho. The Monks are Capucijners, but I don't know what particular strain they are, as PMS isn't really a seed company as such. They sell for consumption, not propagation. The Marrone Bell peas I would love to find out more about, but there is no information available on them. Aside from PMS, the only hit I got was as part of the seeds packed in one of those doomsday seed offers. The Chestnut Flavoured beans are from PCGRIN, and will be reported on when we get to geive them a try. This being the May 24th weekend, all of the locals have planted their gardens, while we will be another week or two getting ours in the ground, as we are so far behind. But when we do get ours in the ground, it will be all up and running, while the rest of the valley will be seeing theirs just poking through the soil. Love those paper pots.

Bunkie, would you like me to send you some seed for the Chestnut Flavored beans next fall? We would be glad to.
