Peas

The first of the peas have been planted.  I planted a double row of Mammoth Melting snow peas yesterday in the corner bed.  I also finished putting up the trellis for them to grow on.  There are 3 trellis’s, they all have netting to 6 ½’ above ground and are 10’, 10’, 7’ long respectively.  My plan is to plant the rest the second week of May.

I have also been working on the bottom garden bed where the tomatoes and peppers are going to be planted.  It is being expanded from 10’x12’ to 16’x25’ a significant increase.  I am digging and turning all of the sod under and then will re dig in a month when I plant.  I did the same thing last year and only pulled out a little bit of grass.  For the most part the rest of it decomposed pretty well.  Below is a picture of the garden that I'm working on along with my helper. 

This is a picture of the garlic.  There are 7 different kinds planted in that bed and all are doing pretty well.  I did have something eating the tops of them a little bit but figured out that it was the neighbour’s cat.  The damage shouldn't be anything that will affect the size of the bulbs though.

This is a close up of the rhubarb.  It came up a couple weeks ago.
