Seed Planting


The early spring seeds are in the ground -- snap peas, snow peas, kale, spinach, carrots, radishes, turnips, red beets, lettuces, fennel and parsley. The ruby red rhubarb was moved to make way for the strawberries and the compost pile was started. And I was entertained today by my neighbor's horses (my parents). They don't often venture near my property -- its the far end of the field and lthey typically ike to stay closer to the food, water and hay. Today, they decided to run, play, and jump across the field and I couldn't help but watch and enjoy them -- it was a beautiful day and I have the best of neighbors!

REally? I should be putting my peas, kale and spinach seeds in even though it's been going down to the teens overnight?

Yup! I've been planting the peas on St. Patty's day for many years. All the early crops are very cold tolerant and can withstand temps in the twenty's -- even some snow.

Guess we know what I'll be doing this weekend...

Thanks for the info!
