Mary, I have trouble getting my peas to germinate reliably so this year I pre-sprouted them. I took a pretty damp paper towel and put them in and then put them in a zip lock bag. When they sprouted I planted them in the garden. Starting them in paper pots or peat pots would work just as well. There are spots in my row where I did not pre-sprout and they are empty!!! Oh well.
I got compost around my head (loose and crisp) lettuce, potatoes, onions, peas and root veggies. I also finished mulching the leaf lettuce row. After lunch I started weeding my echinacea row and actually ended up getting all the wheat out of the bulb row as well. It looks like I didn't lose any echinaceas, yet. I say yet because Envy has yet to shoot up any leaves but it has live root so I'll be patient. Maybe now that it can breathe it will put out some leaves.
David mulched the two potato rows and the new strawberry row. It's so nice to have some help and the potatoes are pretty much his pet project.
I dug up some comfrey to pot up and sell at market. I was expecting to pot up some things today but the rain never materialized. Maybe tomorrow. I could use a day sitting down, potting up plants, but if it's nice, I'll be over at the farm again. The comfrey row needs to be finished weeding and I still have flower rows to weed. I really want to use this time without the grandson. I will watch him on Wed. now instead of today so we'll use that day to go shopping. He is a good shopper and I need a ton of groceries!
