Re: snap peas

Rick
Yes, they are more blue green, so I guess they are OK.  I'm not sure about
the 4 1/2 foot trellis though.  Guess I'll deal with it when they get to the
top of what I have now.  Didn't REALLY think that I could train them to go
back DOWN, but I'm a novice.  Thanks for the advice
Martha
