Planting peas!

I planted my own edible peas, and Mom's sweet-peas, this Sunday. It was a warm, sunny day, and the spring weather has stuck.

The garden, before any work had been done. This picture is taken facing north. As you can see, there are grass paths on either side (west and east) of the garden; I was also standing in a wider grass path to take this picture. There is also a short wire fence between my garden and the one to the north.


Gardening supplies for today: plastic mesh for the peas to climb on; stakes for the mesh; a shovel to loosen the soil; seeds; scissors; twine; and a measuring tape.



After planting and staking!

The soil was excellent already: damp but not heavy, loose, cool but not cold. I'm very excited to see peas grow.
