Peas!

Each year I manage to plant peas (sugar snap) earlier than I should.  My grandmother Huffman always said she planted them on Valentines day.  Since we are 100 miles north, I assume this translates to about two weeks.  This year the peas were the first thing to actually be planted in the garden--March 22nd.  The ground was just barely dry enough to use my cultivator/tiller on, but it worked up OK.  Below is the result as seen on April 04!







There are probably 6 - 10 that have sprouted in the last two days.  I had to walk through the mud to get this photo.  We have had 4.1" of rain so far this month (notice--that is only four days), so they may wash away!
