It is still too cold and wet for planting peas, but since the weather was good, I went out and pulled weeds. Underneath the weeds I found the first signs of spring. Hyacinth and Crocus bulbs are starting to pop up through the soil. I even saw some rhubarb poking through. Those darn weeds!

Peas
January 21st, 2010I’m walking around my garden and planning which area to plant which plant. Peas will grow in partial shade and will get tall so I need a special place for it. I usually grow 3 kinds of peas. Tall telephone for shelling and freezing, sugar snaps for eating off the vine, and Oregon sugar pods for stir frying.
Time to Prune Fruit Trees
January 13th, 2010Its time to prune my apple and pear trees and/or dormant spray them. If ony I can get 6 hours of no rain. I could spray for scab on fruit trees, and black spot and disease on my roses, too. Should spray horticultural oil on my plum tree, too. It got aphids last summer. I used lady bugs last summer and they did a good job eating the aphids.
Seeds Are Here!
