The Sweet Peas are up and growing



The sweet peas are about 5" high and are growing like weeds.

I had the move the sweet peas to the top of our growing shelves as the cats like to hit the peas as they are so flexible.

Maybe I planted them too early. Can it be?
It is April 7th and I would like to set them outside the first of May. It snowed 5" yesterday, interesting the same height as my sweet peas. I do hope this is not a regular occurance with snow and sweet peas keeping up.

I am going to put up a vine on both sides of our patio for shade as well as privacy. I can hardly wait to set out some plants.
The sweet peas, lettuce, and onions will be first as they like the chilly weather. I will need to still have some covering for them as our last frost usually comes over Memorial Day. Last year we had snow and frost up until June 16th. Oh please not again, mother nature!

On we go with the planting adventures of being a gardener, in containers, with a small area.

Watch for more updates to come.
