Yeah, I kind of figured they might have floated away.... :( I guess if it dries up any this weekend and i still don't see any sign of them I will replant. Thanks for the replies! Jeff

I planted purple hull peas 2 1/2 weeks ago....... the day before a GREAT BIG FLOOD hit our area. It rained for DAYS and the garden stood in water for about 3 days. It stayed wet for about another week before drying out. Off and on rains have kept the area pretty damp without the need for...
