The temperature was 70° today, so I took a walk through the garden to start my planning. The garden is really ready for cleanup, but the ground is a little wet. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time today as I need to run over to exercise.
I will probably only be able to get two trellises in a raised bed as they are three feet wide. The pea bed is twelve feet long. So I need to go to plan “B”. I don’t think I can get the new beds in and filled with dirt in time to plant peas. The ground will likely be too wet to move dirt over. I could put the new beds in and just plant inside them without the extra dirt. Planting might be tough, though. I could plant in the existing bed, though. I don’t think I want to use two beds for peas. I need to check the harvest date from last year………….
I was picking peas at the end of June last year after planting them on April 30.
The chives are about three or four inches tall. If the weather warms back up after the coming cold snap, we could be cutting in a few weeks. The rabbits chewed the bark on some of the blackberries, but it doesn’t seem as bad as last year.
