This will give them the fertility they require with a cool root run. The manure should be :oll'dccayod and not fresh enough to heat. P While every ambitious gardener will pride himself upon the quality of his tall peas, the dwarf varieties are best for the small garden and are the best for the second early planting as the tall sorts require a longer season of growth and more care it providing brush, wire or strings upon which to orush, wire or strings upon which to climb, as they make from three to four feet in height before producing their crop.
