    At what size should I pick my peas?

    My peas just started coming in last week and I am wondering what size to pick them or in other words what size do most people like them best. Should I let them get a decent size or wait until they are full and tight.

    Drip Watering vs. Sprinklers

    I am growing a large patch of pumpkins this year and cannot decide between the two. Overhead watering would be easier and cheaper but isn't the drip method healthier for the plants and will I get better results? Or do you think I would make out fine with overhead watering?

    how long do I leave the lights on?

    I have florescent lights on my plants and I was wondering if it is ok to leave them on all the time? They do really good and are nice and green when I leave it on all the time but is this OK for them? They are vegetable plants.
