Peas appear!

Peas are the first veggie to poke up out of the ground in the new market garden. This one is called Sugar Ann, a snap pea variety with a delicious, crunchy, fully-edible pod. Harvest should be in about 55-60 days.

It’s always exciting and a thrill to spot the very first garden greenery of the year. Elsewhere in the field, spinach, radish, beets, lettuce and more early-seeded crops are germinating in the fine combination of warmth, sun, and regular rain that we’ve been having so far this spring. Weather…keep it up!
