Today I planted peas, mustards, raab, spinach, lettuces and carrots

Actually, I got the peas planted on Saturday. We've had a weird mix of sun and rain for the last couple weeks. Every day there's been some sun, and some clouds, some rain and some wind. Or so it seems. I jumped at the chance to plant peas on Saturday, and got another bed in (bringing the total to 3 beds, 2 more to go), but the rain came in and shut me down for the rest of the crops. My new Earthway seeder is a little finicky in the rain, and when the soil is too wet, it makes a mess.



Also this weekend, I got some help from my visiting friend Wayne. We both got most of the beds weeded, which was good timing because the grass is starting to come up in some places, along with lots and lots of hyacinth bulbs. (Anybody want a bunch of hyacinth bulbs?)



And then this morning, we had some more good weather, so I planted the mustards, raab, spinach, lettuces (all four varieties I'm growing this year) and early carrots. Afterwards, Patrick G came over and we got another load of wood chips, and then spread them on the remaining paths and in between the rows. Looks good, huh?

Of course it's raining now, hard. But I'm not planting again for another 10 days, or until the potatoes arrive.
