Gone to Ground

The first batch of peas have officially kicked off the plot season.  This morning, I put four of the pea plants (including the two who intertwined yesterday) into a bag and brought it to work.  The bag and the pea plants sat in a sunless and grim spot in the corner of my office for several long hours, but when the day was done their imprisonment was over!  Hooray!

We dug up the soil and raked it around a bit.

We checked on the onions and garlic.  The garlic bears no resemblance to the stuff we put into the ground last spring.  They are rather like spring onions which are buried too deep.  Hopefully, this fall the garlic will bear some resemblance to the stuff we want to eat.  The onions are still crazy and marginal.

We dug little pits and tapped the peas out of their pots.  

We then put the peas into the ground, staking them as we did so.  

I think maybe we'll put some more in tomorrow.
