Been hesitant to get into gardening for a while, finally took the plunge in late May with whatever I could scrape together. Already learning from mistakes (vertical support, crowding, a grow bag that isn't meant for potatoes ๐Ÿ˜Š), but happy that it's still alive so far! No peas yet but I'm patiently hoping. Open to advice and tips for this/next year!

Coming along nicely! I like how it looks like the vines are holding hands where their tendrils connect.

I think snap peas like, or at least don't mind, crowding! What is the sun and heat exposure like there? I'm used to them looking more deep green (like the vine to the far left of the week 5 photo) rather than more yellow like the others. I wonder if that color difference could be a clue. Could it be getting more/less light/heat than the others? I'm used to growing them in the Pacific Northwest and varieties adapted to there so it could be a regional/variety difference.
