This has been going on for a while now (years) and the vets are getting closer to unravel the mystery of dogs (and cats) dying from DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy), caused by food. A lot of data points to '3P': peas, pulses, and (sweet) potato. Peas seem to be the worst.
This is the latest research.

@gardening the mixed bag:
My had the same problem as the onions - compost too rough, ground too cold. But I really wanted peas, and I kept re sowing them until I got a few. Oregon Sugar Peas are absolutely my favorite and I’m going to plant so many more next spring. I eat them raw in the garden.
I failed out repeatedly planting in one particular bed, but when I moved to a different bed, I grew two extremely fine crops. I used Adaptive Seeds Summer Lettuce Mix.
I’m still *scandalized* that carrot maggot flies infested my puny ! There were enough for me to have a few and the equines to have a handful of snacks, otherwise I’d call them failures. I gave them some very nice, fine sandy soil and drip irrigation and they sullenly tried to die, over and over. They are the only plants so far this year with insect damage to the bits I want to eat. I tried like five varieties from four different sources, so it’s not them, it’s me.
I still really want carrots, and I’m thinking about where to plant a winter crop.

How to Grow Your Own Food – With or Without a Garden

There’s no such thing as an effortless crop, but plenty that are pretty foolproof – even if you have just a windowsill or room for a few pots.

by Alys Fowler

"If you only have a windowsill

"The Lilliputian world of offers those with the smallest of spaces the opportunity to grow some crops with flavour as well as vitamins and other nutrients. Microgreens are merely seedlings harvested when they are no more than 10cm or so high and grown so close together that they resemble a small forest. You don’t need proper pots or a seed tray: a yoghurt tub or a takeaway container will do, as long as you punch holes for drainage. Microgreens are a one-hit wonder, however – each cut is the end of life for the seedling – so you will need to re-sow every two weeks or so. When buying seeds, check the packages and hunt for those with the most inside.

"The entry level into this world, which is vast and runs from amaranth to watercress, is dried from the supermarket. Sow them cheek by jowl and cover with just a little compost. The flavour of just-harvested pea shoots is fresh and green, just as if you have been frolicking in a summer meadow. Once you have succeeded here, try the seedlings of , , , , , , (shiso) … The list is endless – even carrot seedlings are delicious.

"If you have a bit more space and a sunny enough spot, I would recommend getting a tree or perhaps a . Not because you are likely to harvest bowls full of fruit, but for the leaves, which harbour all the flavour of the rind, but in a subtle and interesting way. They can be used in curries, puddings or – my favourite – gin and tonic. You could even add some coriander microgreens and truly up your game. Citrus trees need bright, warm conditions and watering twice a week in summer."

Stir fried veggies atop sesame noodles are my desperate plan for using up fresh produce this evening.

For all the pea lovers out there, here is my biggest ever haul, now shelled and in the freezer 😊. I’m definitely going to grow peas again, it’s been great fun. Though now the caterpillars have discovered them… 🦋

Cascatelli with fresh peas, pea and spring onion purée, and mint. I made this usually once a year when the fresh shelling peas come in, and it’s delightful.

Loving the delicious snap peas but some got pretty fat after I lost track of them inside the tornado of intertwined vines, so I decided to shell them instead. I love the symmetry and beauty of the peas inside the pods.

Fattening , golden flower, and released into the fresh air yesterday.
Unfortunately, has been windy and some of the stems have been bent, causing leaves to wilt. We're crossing fingers that this evening's dowsing will perk them up.
That's , I guess. Highs and lows.
