I planted hairey vetch seed and crimsom clover seed also today. Next I will fix up the bare patches in my lawn with dutch white clover seed. I love clover in my lawn. I plant the crimson clover (an annual) just becasue it is so pretty. But not in my lawn. And that hairey vetch for the bees plus again I do think it is pretty. It might be somewhat early to plant the crimson clover but I have a lot of seed so if there are any problems I can redo. Not too early for the vetch, it is in the pea family. Both of these are often included in wildlife plots and both are also used as green manure or cover crops.

Plus I planted my onion sets. Now I have to go out and water all the stuff I planted.

Today the peas I planted in big pots are sprouting. So far I see nothing sprouting with the peas I put inground.
