Get in The Garden

Planting early spring’s cool crops.

This is going to a perfect spring for growing crops that thrive under 75 degrees fahrenheit.

It'll be a great weekend to set some time and get in the garden..

A garden is practical. It’s about lifting some burden off your grocery bills. Planting will cost a few dollars. Saving hundreds!

Cool crops grow quickly. Nature does most of the work. Excellent project for young kids. A radish sprouts rapidly.

Until Tomorrow! Smile On!

It’ Planting Time

Planting early spring’s cool crops.

Green Springing

Green is sprinkling around Ohio.

My instincts are telling me an early spring.

Don't rush and plant those seeds just yet+

But in the next few weeks. You'll want to begin your cool crops outdoors. They can handle some cold days!

Until Tomorrow! Smile On!

Remember to Pea

Planting peas in spring.

Starting Our Spring Gardens

It's time to purchase and plant our cool crop seeds.

The very 1st thing that I plant are my peas.

My choices are "sugar snap" and "snow" peas. I don't grow "shell" peas, but they are equally delicious.

Peas must have something to grow up. If you decide to repurpose an item as their structure. Make sure you aid the pea vine by securing it to the structure, with garden twine.

Until Tomorrow! Smile On!

Pea Weather

When to plant peas

If you live in Ohio. You want to plant the seeds on the 1st day of spring. No matter the forecast.

It's Ohio, so check back. I don't suggest a "polar vortex" type of bizarre weather situation.

However, I have planted in snow.

Peas thrive in cool weather.

Don't sweat the freeze warnings or threats of spring.

A pea is conditioned to thrive in these predicaments. 

Until Tomorrow! Smile On!
