Peas Pleas


Yes another amazing day of weather in the garden!!

So to day I planted peas, and hope to plant more tomorrow.


I planted sweet snap peas.

They are a claiming plant that likes to be planted close together. So I put some tomato cages in the ground and plant peas in a circle around the bottom.

You do not need to work the ground to plant pees, and often are the first thing to go in, in the spring. It has been so warme that I did work our triangle bed, added ash, calcium and a good helping of peat moss. We had issues last year of needing more calcium in the soil. This bed being only a year old, needed more loam. I like to find three to four worms in my soil every time I turn it with the fork. If I do not more organic material goes in. Here in our little part of the world we have lost of clay, so the more the merrier when it comes to adding to the soil.


Happy planting!
