And a gardener who's well prepared IN ADVANCE on something like that? Shocking! LOL Seems like most stories I read, we all want to get the seeds in the dirt NOW and figure out the technicalities later...<BR/><BR/>Our last frost date here in NE Ohio is a week or two after yours I believe (something like May 21?), and I just planted peas (and carrots, lettuce and spinach) Tuesday evening. I figured I was behind, but this is my first year with my own yard (as opposed to a rental plot), so I'm not used to having access to my own planting space so early! Plus we kept having snow storms....didn't figure the peas would appreciate that.Jephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843262392217281569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-23106753680142242362008-03-23T12:10:00.000-04:002008-03-23T12:10:00.000-04:00Those supports are terrific!

My vines won't be that vigorous.<BR/><BR/>When my Dad was alive and planting his garden every spring, he wrote "sowed March 6th" on a packet of pea seeds. So though he tried to plant around St. Pat's Day, if it was warmer earlier, he'd plant them. <BR/><BR/>I don't believe my peas have sprouted yet, but "any day" now.<BR/><BR/>Carol, May Dreams GardensCarol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-30070971436410267522008-03-22T04:46:00.000-04:002008-03-22T04:46:00.000-04:00I've never heard of the tradition of sowing peas o...I've never heard of the tradition of sowing peas on St Patricks day. Perhaps a modern invention since in the USA everything turns green! I always plant my new potatoes on Good Friday, this is centuries old tradition. Another I know of is that you only prune a box hedge on Christmas Day and Derby day!Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-61997296886217699132008-03-20T21:29:00.000-04:002008-03-20T21:29:00.000-04:00Peas and goodwill to all.Nice trellis.Peas and goodwill to all.<BR/><BR/>Nice trellis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-22696800834958574022008-03-20T10:19:00.000-04:002008-03-20T10:19:00.000-04:00Yikes, it's time for peas!

Unfortunately, my wife protests until I dismantle my trellises each fall. So I'll have to build some more. <BR/><BR/>Love that cold frame.
