RE: Fish Heads as Fertilizer, and trellises

Trudi,

I live right near the Verrazano Bridge, are you from NY?? That trellis must
be quite a sight!

		Darn, I should have remembered that one, it's a great idea.
Despite
		being six miles from the Atlantic fish heads are a bit hard
to come by.
		But I can get bags of frozen smelts for a good price. I
could cut one in
		half.......that should do the trick!

		I went to Kmart yesterday and bought a couple of packages of
Martha
		Stewart Bamboo Stakes, also bought some of her green twine
to tie the
		cross pieces with. I'll be making a trellis fence with them,
or maybe
		another teepee thing to connect my two bean towers. 

		Of note, Presidents Day weekend I planted my Alaska peas and
they
		germinated about eight-ten days later, at that time I
planted my Oregon
		Snow Peas. Well the snow peas germinated in due time, and to
my
		amazement the snow peas are actually the same height as the
earlier
		planted Alaska peas! This is my first year growing peas, so
I imagine
		that there are variables in height and germination between
the two
		varieites......I merely thought that the Alaskas would be so
much
		farther ahead. At any rate, if we get a bit warmer the
Alaskas will take
		off fast, can't wait to see them start climbing my home-made
string
		trellis. It's strung from four poles not more thane four
feet high. It's
		a very woven ordeal, and if you have ever seen the Verazzano
Narrows
		Bridge in NYC, then you would have a very good idea as to
what the
		trellis looks like, LOL. Next time I'll get a kindergartener
to weave
		it, it should be infinitesimally better.

		Trudi
