I think this will be close to the last of the sweet pod pea harvest until fall. It has been the best year I have ever had for sugar pod peas.

My broody's eggs are hatching! Blue Orpington over Black Marans (possibly not a pure bred) should make for some BIG chickens. I can't wait to check on her in the morning so I can see how many made it!!
I'm hoping she can raise them with the flock. I am spent on raising chicks right now. I finally got the chicks I incubated moved out of my garage!
I'm still picking....planted Snow peas, Sugar Snap and Marvel in early March....the Snow peas started a second flush and the other two varieties are still going strong. I mulched them with aged cow manure and hay compost when they were about 12 inches high. They are growing up a cattle panel in each bed. Rows of spinach and lettuce on either side also keep the roots of the peas shaded and cool in one bed, beets and carrots in another and tomatoes and broccoli in a third.
This has been a good spring for gardening. I had to tie up my potatoes plants that we're spilling over the sides of the raised bed so I could run the weed eater around the boxes...never had to do that before. I've tied up tomato plants to the cattle panel in the boxes for a third time already and have picked our first ripe tomato.
First time I've gotten Snow King cauliflower to make a huge white head without yellowing and have the best beets ever.
Now if I can trap the vole that is gnawing on my beets and carrots I'll be thrilled. Murdock the cat has been spending time in the garden and watching a wood pile outside the garden fence pretty close the past several days...hoping he gets it before I do.
Did you know that voles are monogamous and can raise several litters a year!
Chicks are hatching in the incubator today...so far three are out.
