Hi, Lorri. Sorry to hear about the worms. We at RVG are learning about various pests, but in any case without a worm to analyze for identity, it's impossible to guess what you have. As you know, there are various worms/larvae that live in the soil. Can you get in touch with the Extension Service or take a worm to the Grange Coop near you for help? One thing we do know, various insects/larvae may be friend or foe, and a shotgun approach to dealing with them is not wise gardening. Kudos to you for asking questions. Here's hoping your peas are still alive and that you can get to the root of this problem.

Hi, Lorri!I'm not sure of the why's and wherefore's when it comes to that scheduling. I know there are classes, etc. on weekends and evenings. We suggest you contact the master gardener program with your comment/question and let them know you'd like to be involved and when that works for you...who knows, maybe they can better accommodate you and others like you, or provide info you may have missed about times you could go to their events or get help. It's a great service with dedicated people guiding and volunteering the program. Worth a try to communicate with them.

crocuses this am, shirt sleeves tomorrow (68 degrees). Come sweet spring!

Hi there! Just want to chime in and welcome a new member. I've just been learning more myself about container growing. One of the first tips I've come across is the need to use the right sort of soil. You really can't just get soil from your yard; it doesn't have the right kind of drainage/nutrients. You must purchase ingredients such as peat, pumice, etc. and create a mix. You can look for potting soil recipes online. Happy gardening!
