Garden 3.0 (Week 5)

The peas are finally showing some life. I've had an idea of putting a trellis next to them so that they can grow rather than just flop on the ground like in years past. I'm still trying to figure out what the best, cheapest method will be since the rows are pretty long. Stay tuned to see how it's going to happen. (On a side note, I received feedback that the patch of grass I was blogging about was not very interesting, especially when compared to Sugar Snap Peas. Therefore I've pulled it from the blog)
Also, notice the circle patch of plants in the background. I believe they are volunteer sunflowers from last year, because of that, I will let them grow for a month or two to see if that's the case.

Garden 3.0 (Week 3)

Can you believe it?! It's that time of the year again, time to put seeds in the ground and hope for a miracle. Once again, we didn't really prepare the soil with any organic fertilizer, so we're just hoping for Mother Nature to take over. Luckily there has been a lot of rain, and even snow to keep the ground moist. I wonder if the Snow Peas will taste better because of it.

The peas are popping out of the ground, but the row of onions and carrots aren't even showing. Carrots and onions didn't work last year either. Stay tuned for next week, and maybe we'll see the carrots rise from the dust.

Yep, I had to add the grass section again, and it's looking decent after the winter. That's all.
