Tangled Mess

Hello! Josephine here 🧑‍🌾 Earlier, I shared the excitement of our blooming veggies —but now I’m flipping the script with a concern: I think my peas might be struggling! 😬

It’s tough to tell because they’ve turned into an epic tangled mess (lesson learned: next time, invest in a better trellis—string just isn’t cutting it for these climbers!). The issue seems to be that the vines near the base are wilting, while the ones near the top look healthy and happy. Is this normal?

The gardener in me wants to dive in, clean up the dead vines, and give the thriving ones more room to grow. But:

a) It’s hard to tell what’s actually dead and what’s just struggling, and

b) The vines are so intertwined that pulling out one might hurt the others—it’s like a little network of support down there!

So I’m turning to you, my trusted green-thumbed community! I’d love to hear your advice! 🌟 Should I:

1️⃣ Leave it alone and let nature sort itself out over the next few weeks

2️⃣ Gently clean it up now and risk some trauma to the healthy vines

3️⃣ Other: What would you do in this situation?
