pea plants

All my Peas were flopping over.

It said on the seed packet "does not need support" but don't believe it! Well, they'd probably grow fine without something to climb on, but I noticed last year any moisture on the ground overnight struck the leaves with mildew, when it gets humid here. Or some other disease that speckles all the leaves suddenly. So I like to keep them lift up, clear of the soil. After weeding the bed today, found a bunch of sticks and tied up each plant with some strips of rag.

Here's the row from one side

and from the other.
