Thank You! I've since 'ruffled up' the soil and that seamed to help a little bit with the drainage. I will next try poking holes in troubled areas. I have a compost bin 'working hard', so in the fall I should have some good 'stuff' to work in.

My sugar snap peas are just emerging, but my pole beans are slow. All my other plants look pretty healthy. What types of fertilizer do people use. I must go search the forum.
