Spring & Peas
Thats right, the beginning of the garden season. There is a point in winter where the cold and dark are just tiring to the soul and all I can think of is my spring garden. But February, a full month before Spring before most anything else goes in are the peas. The initial hope for the year.
Every year I start out with gusto to have a good crop, weed and disease free, the best garden ever.
Most years somewhere in the heat and business of summer it misses a watering or harvest slows down and things bolt and go to seed. Yet every spring is the same hope and determination, this year will be fantastic crops.
I spent Saturday clearing beds, the black winter soil is so beautiful. Who thought dirt could look so appealing.
As I patiently await the first of the asparagus to come up that I planted last year showing some life of spring (yes it is still winter) I put in the peas yesterday. Two different varieties, a sugar and a snap pea.
This year I didn’t have a trellis available so I planted them along the fence, I hope to use twine and stakes to get the peas to climb the fence. I also left space in front of the peas for some chard or spinach to go in next month!!!
