The weather’s been crazy – spring in February, winter in March, summer in April, spring again… and I was afraid all the cold might have killed the peas before they even sprouted.
Every time I plant a seed, he say
Kill it before it grow
– “I shot the sherriff”
Anyway, a couple weeks have gone by and the peas sprouted! They’re even bigger now – leafing out and a few inches tall. All the drizzle and rain has been good for them.
Rosie planted the tomatoes, but the weather hasn’t been helping them out… hopefully they’ll survive and I’ll have photos of them soon. We also have a ton of seeds for other fun plants… and are taking suggestions for what cool veggies to grow this year.
Community garden work in Tacoma is going well – we had about 80 people at the New Community Gardens Kickoff last Wednesday – and folks are organizing on all 7 new sites around the city (let me know if that link to the map doesn’t work)… in addition to 3 or 4 other non-city-sponsored sites like this Eastside collaboration between the Puyallup Tribe, city, and neighbors we’ve been working with. Exciting!
Oh, and I don’t think I ever posted this final harvest photo from last season…

Rosie and Skye, great job on keeping the garden going… I should send you some of Chinese broccoli seeds.. I bet it will do well there. I am thinking about creating a rain garden on our yard and plant some vegetables.
