My little helper made the row markers.... "Peas, 1 Week".... he's a very optimistic little fellow :-)
Well, here's the spot, better get started.
First I need to cultivate the area. I have a very nice tiller that was my Grandfather's, but it is a large beast and when I use it I really take a beating. So, for this job, I will use this handy little gadget and my shoulders and back will thank me in the morning.
Now I need to get the weeds out. The little wild Spring onions are already popping up everywhere.
Miss Honey takes Grub patrol. Actually, she gobbles up grub worms, earth worms, beetles, bugs, spiders and any thing else that dares to move.
Watch out little earth worm, or you will be the next snack! I'll just cover him up right quick, I really prefer to keep these around.

Well, the seeds have been gently enveloped in the warming earth, given a good drink and now I'll wait in anticipation for the first little green shoots to pop their heads out of the ground and say, "Hello!"
In the words of my Little Blonde Headed Helper, "It is a good day to be a Farmer." Lord, I love that child.

We have never planted English peas. We always wait and plant Purple hull. I love them canned what kind do you plant?
I'm just one state North, Virginia, and I'm also itching to start my peas. Alas, not for another few weeks.
There is still a foot of snow on my garden! Looks like you had fun!
Makes me want a farmette! We have almost no land and I've got a black thumb. I guess God knew this was the perfect place for me -lol! Blessings... Polly

Won't it get cold again? Maybe I'll start some peas next weekend. I'm still thinking we're going to have more cold but maybe I'm wrong.
Hi Rhonda...I am going to start container gardens soon...I missed out last year so I better start thinking about it now!
Hugs,
