April showers.........

It continues to be a fairly overcast and wet month so far. Hopefully we will get a little bit of warm up into the 60's and some sun for a short while in the late afternoon today. Can't wait to get out and ready the garden for spring. I've planted two varieties of peas (a sugar snap variety and Mr. Big, a shelling pea) using my new Bean Grow Bags from Gardener's Supply Co. It's a simple system with a reusable fiber grow bag supported by a metal rim and pole which you string for supporting the vines. I have a small yard and the grow bags will allow me to move the plants around my space as I need to. My second planting will be Trionfo violetto and Golden sunshine runner beans. I need to get my lettuces, chard, kale, beets, potatoes and onions planted this week too.
