Gnats in my pea shoots?????

[Guest guest]

Wow, this never happened before. I have many pea shoot trays growing. I just

walked over to water them for the day. This particular one was using Coir. I

was spritzing the water and I noticed something moving and flying. I said " maybe

it's the water dripping " . IT WASN'T.

I carefully looked and saw a few of these fying gnat thingees on the top of the

coir (not on the top of the shoots). I didn't care and I tossed the whole thing.

It was one of the disposable trays that I had so no harm no foul.

I carefully inspected the other trays (where I have both coir and stg mats).

NOTHING MOVING, NOTHING FLYING.

And yesterday we swatted a gnat in the living room. As you know my garden

shelves are in my living room. That should have given me a clue but the weather

has been so erratic I didn't make the connection.

And it wasn't my sunnies because I wasn't growing any sunnies. Haven't for 3

weeks. I just put up a batch this morning because they have been in the freezer.

So this was just peas.

So here's my question. I didn't know that peas could have the same larvae stuff

as the other seeds.

Am I correct?

Thanks much.

This is still a learning experience for me.
