You are a classic Presidents Day planter of peas. I have been too.

I also am a replanter of peas in March...


Still cleaning up down trees from the snow.

Winter gardening and composting-i have fabricated a lot of screen barriers to protect from squirrel hoards.These shots are just a narrow alley strip behind the yard and garden. It is planted with similar winter crops. Corn salad, arugula, elephant garlic, Egyptian walking onions, purple sprouting biennial broccoli etc. willbe starting seeds in the greenhouse in about a month. Finally finished with the grow lights install

You guys start planting peas now?

I'm just starting in the home gardening stuff. Got to get out there and weed my troughs now.

What print ? And when? Westfly days?

Pruned my blueberries. I have Pink Icing, Blue Jay, Pink Lemonade, and Jelly Bean. All made it through June's hell heat with minimal damage, but Jelly Bean was truly the round mound of rebound. It's compact density must have acted as insulation.

I also grow tomatos and save seeds, I have to say the varietal 'Boronia' seeds from victory seeds initially, is awsome for our PNW climate. It's a dwarf.. But more a medium dwarf plant. Indeterminat but kinda acts like a determinate(sets fruit all at once), but still produces throughout the season. The tomatoes are very similar to a Cherokee purple/chocolate. Also 'Ashleigh' from victory seeds. Oxheart, red, dense, very few seeds, amazing slicer. Hawaiian Pineapple was also pretty good, big fruits, yellow with red blush. The castuloto genovase were cool looking with the deep ribs but nothing special. I have thousands of seeds let me know if you all want any.

Got it! Meaning seeing your old handle clicked memory. Thanks love it when that happens. The older one gets and you experience a real memory orgasm like that… well sort of…? No actually I-remember now ! Orgasm was definitely the wrong terminology. Really!

Strawberries get nothing but compost this spring. Early fertilizer last year just produced tall, lush plants with few berries. I'll renovate and fertilize in July this year.

Just came in from watering - dry as a bone out there.

planted more arugula a while ago and transplanted Purple sprouting biennial broc from the nursery bed I use to pull small starts. All that I have been planting are good to go as long as the night temps stay just above freezing...once started and have true leaves and a bit larger all these plants once established are fine to 15 degrees nighttime...
