Planting Peas

We had better luck this year planting peas from seed rather than purchasing started plants.  The plants just sat there, no growth, while the seeded peas took off like gangbusters.  They sprout very quickly anyway.  Next year I think seeding directly in the garden is the best approach.

Started seeds on the deck about 4 wks ago.  We had tried to til the garden 2 wks ago, but the area was just to soggy.  Finally got it tilled on May1, and planted on May 3.  Planted seeds mostly, corn, green beans, some of my starts went into the ground as well.
