Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

March 17-18, 2012 Patio Peas Planted

With the beautiful spring weather I was out on the patio digging out two of my wooden garden boxes and replacing with fresher soil.  I use a combination of my on-site compost material, old soil, and added some fresh soil/compost mix from the MOBY sale.  My strategem peas are planted.  We purchased these peas from the seedy Saturday at Stewart Farm a couple years back and grew these out last year.  This time I removed the chives.  According to my companion garden book, peas don't like the allium family so I'm hoping for a bumper crop this year.

Perhaps Swiss chard or spinach next.  Our mason bees are sitting in the fridge waiting for April. Not sure when to put them out in Cedar Cottage garden.  We've had some good weather along with snow. One can only hope for the best.
