Love Them Peas!


Spring has sprung and after the winter that wasn't, attention is finally being paid to the garden plot. Over the years I've had really bad luck with early spring peas. All of the guides say you can plant them as soon as the ground can be worked regardless of the weather forecast. Bravo Sierra on that! Either the seeds rot before they sprout or they hardly ever sprout at all.

This year I decided to finally get myself a patch of spring peas. Two weeks ago, I started a flat of seeds in peat pots indoors. As soon as they sprouted, I started setting them outside to harden off. Today they went into the ground, together with a few onion sets. To make the process a bit easier I left up the pole bean wall from last season' so let's see what happens.

I also uncovered the strawberry bed. Keep fingers crossed!
