The peas have landed!

Our nicely-sprouted peas are in the ground. Now if only the snow holds off until, oh, I don't know--next winter!!! I know they can tolerate a light frost, so I'm hoping if it does snow, it stays above around 30 degrees. Otherwise we can kiss our potential pea crop good-bye. Both S. and I have already acknowledged that this is kind of our throwaway year. We're figuring out how to do things properly and finding out what works and doesn't work in our soil. Hopefully we'll get some harvest out of it successfully. I think our pepper plants are unhappy with us. As you can see from the picture below, they're kind of rigged up in a ridiculous manner. BUT..we're hoping they are getting good, warm vibes and like the sunny spot we've stuck them in. We're already on the lookout for a warming tray from e-Bay for next growing season. Live, grow, and learn, right?!
