I liked someone's idea for 'early" peas: first soak the peas overnight, then set them indoors on wet paper towels until the root emerges. THEN plant them. Now, if I can just plan a few days ahead and have time and no rain to plant them, out ...

Definitely worth a shot, but not guaranteed. I did this last year and that batch still didn't grow.

I think Rita's idea of filling large containers with planting medium now, for next year's spring crop, is the best yet. That soil will warm much faster than any other, and drain properly too. I have one ready now, and I hope to get another set up yet this week.



Arlene, can you tell I've never grown edible sweet potatoes? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Don't their stalks die back after blooming, like the others do?
