Planted the peas.

The pea seeds went in today. Three kinds this year: Burpeeana Early, Dark Seeded Early Perfection, and Sugar Snap. The seed packets predict harvest times of 63 to 70 days so we will be eating peas in early July. I was thinking about planting greens tomorrow but just checked the forecast -- high of 36 and frozen mix. Sounds like quilting weather for me and knitting weather for Mary Ann.

Seeds Started Indoors


Over the past week, I've used Park One-Steps to start zinnia, pablano pepper, cilantro, squash, zucchini, and Thai basil seeds. As they emerge, the plastic plates will be moved to the furnace room with the grow light.

We buy the seeds.

We drove to Meadows Farms today where Mary Ann spent much of her tax refund for seeds.  Notice that we got seeds for squash and zucchini. We plan to start them inside and hurry the plants along so that we can get some produce before the squash borers do their damage.
