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?
