Peas!

May 9, 2008 at 1:14 am (Peas, Planting, Rain barrel, Spring)

So, I’m brand new at gardening. This is my first season. I’ve been itching to get into the garden and do some planting but there are still a couple more weeks left before the last frost. It feels like it’s going to take forever. Just to drive home the fact that I still have to wait it snowed today. Yes, snow. In May. But then again May has a reputation for bringing crazy weather to this city.

I was looking through my packages of seeds tonight and I opened up the peas because it said “Look inside for tips”. So I tear it open and lo and behold it says to plant 6 weeks before the last frost! How come it doesn’t say this on the OUTSIDE of the package? I could have planted them a couple weeks ago! Tomorrow (hopefully the snow will melt in the morning) I will plant the peas and finally be out in the garden.

On a side note we got a lot of rain along with the snow and our new rain barrel is already full of water. We didn’t have to wait very long for mother nature to fill it up.

I was also planning to post of pics of what’s already coming up in the garden, but it’s been pretty miserable the last day or two with the rain/snow. But pics are coming.
