Non-flowering peas
I have been lurking for a few months and find the list very
interesting. We moved to Auckland (NZ) in the beginning of this
year and I have planted a few vegetables in pots as there wasn't a
suitable place in the garden. Most of the vegetables are doing
well, although growth is slow. I planted 3 types of peas - sugar
snap, snow peas and greenfeast. They are growing very well and for
the first time powdery mildew isn't a problem. But, the sugar snap
and snow peas aren't flowering. The green feast is flowering and
producing peas, which is underplanted with some beetroot. The sugar
snap and snow peas are underplanted with mizuna and senposai. When I
planted, I enriched the potting soil with compost, pelletised sheep
manure and inorganic fertilizer. The broad beans also doesn't
flower. The plants don't get a lot of direct sunlight. Why is the
green feast flowering, but not the others?
