March 6: peas and lettuce!

peas lying in furrow before being covered up
(soaked peas overnight first)

After I covered peas, I planted small amounts of
4 kinds of spinach and 5 kinds of lettuce.  Hoping for pea pods and lettuce for May 24 SAGE luncheon.

Weeded rows 7, 9, 11, and 12 (row 1 already weeded) (row 8 already weeded, planted in peas and lettuce) (row 11 good, planted in garlic in Oct.:  most garlic is up with frostbitten tops--must have come up in late fall or earlier this winter....but it will be fine.  I dug down to see if the rows that hadn't come up were still good, and found garlic with roots and just starting to sprout...so patience!)  Amazing to have so much down so early!

Raked burnt stalks off of asparagus bed and 

then added 6 1/2 wheelbarrows full of last year's manure.  Would love for the asparagus to come a little later than usual because of May SAGE luncheon.
