I saw some snow peas ready for harvest today! Soon I will plant my corn, sunflowers, and green beans for Spring and Summer.
If you look toward the bottom (and slightly to the left) of this, my most prolific snow pea vine, you can see a pea hanging down, ready to be stir fried. Of course I will offer a prayer of thanks to the Snow Pea Gods and the plant itself.
I hate eating plants, as they can't run away. I hate eating animals too, but at least they can kick and bite and run away.
When will you do your Spring planting?

@allknowing My garden is largely decorative as well. But I do enjoy eating my snow peas and green beans. .

That is an attractive vine. We don't do any planting here until the snow is off the mountains which is usually mid-May.

@TheHorse .......It would be late for folks living in California. Use Home Depot. Lowe's isn't as good.

! How will you reach it? The vine is quite beautiful!
We have a lot of weeding to do . . . that's it. I think that will take up most of my time

@TheHorse They often plant the end of April to the beginning of May here. We don't usually plant until the end of May

@wolfgirl569 Why do you wait longer than the "experts"?

My husband has been working on it for the past couple of days. We're expecting rain this weekend, so he's hoping that'll help the new seedlings.

Congratulations on the snow peas, No place for planting except in big pots. I doubt I will try anything,

So cool. Your snow peas will be so sweet and tender. Good luck with the rest of your planting. We only have weeds.

@Treborika I just saw seven or eight other snow peas poking through. This is going to be a big harvest (by my humble standards).
