Yesterday I hurried over to the garden beyween the rain storms. I gathered up the tarps because we decided to pull them in advance of the impending Hurricane Irene. I had soaked a packet of pea seeds and planted them along the border of Bob and Noel's garden. I decided that, while the timing is not optimal, I'd have to discard the seeds if I did not plant them so I went ahead and pulled some little weeds and planted a double row of peas. I placed the little green screening over the row to keep the squirrels out. I bought two packs of peas in the spring and planted the first pack in my yard in April . Wednesday I started to soak the second pack in hopes of a sunny Thursday.
Amazing how muddy one can get in a very short time.
I hung the tarps in my back yard to dry out so I can pack them away until they are needed again. I went to Home Depot on Wednesday to purchase wood for the raised beds but could only see pressure treated wood. Have to consult with Ginny.
you should grow lots of peas and bring them down to school...my roommate loves peas and even eats them straight out of the can so I'm sure she'd love it.

your best daughter
Haha listen to Carly saying she's the best daughter, I'm sorry but did CARLY go with mom to her garden? Did CARLY survey the other plots, commentin on those that caught her interest? No, I don't think so, I don't think so at all. Anyways mother, I hope your garden stays intact this weekend! Think of a name for your garden, it needs a dignified sounding name. Toodles
