…signs of life are starting to peek through in corners of our yard…the tulips have broken ground, the forsythia are starting to bud and the hostas are poking through. In response to these signals, I built a pea trellis in one of our raised beds to see if we can get some early season peas…along with some radishes. Of course, as soon as I put the seeds in the ground the temperatures cooled off a bit and the nighttime air has been below freezing. With the strong sun, however we’re hoping that the seeds will germinate and before long we’ll be eating our first vegetables of the season…but in the time being, we’ll have to settle for what’s available at the local markets (who do much better with greenhouses!).
