How does your garden grow?

ft_veggarden03_xl

I came across a great garden guide on the Martha Stewart website that I thought I would pass along.

Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just a beginner, the guide takes you from planning your garden, how to test your soil, to what is best to plant.

It is worth taking a look at.

Peas!!

If you haven’t done so already…it is not too late to plant peas.  Peas love cooler weather and are very easy to grow, so plant a handful of seeds in a sunny part of your yard and see what happens.

One helpful tip when planting peas is to soak them over night.  They get nice and plump and have a head start on sprouting, so they will be poking their heads through the ground in no time!

These are my sugar snap peas straight from the bag.

And this is after a soaking overnight.  The difference is amazing isn’t it!

Just plant these guys about 2 inches apart and watch them grow!

I grew mine up a trellis last year and am going to try and grow them up pieces of string this year.  When I get it set up, I will let you know how it works…cross your fingers!

P.S. it is also not too late to plant, lettuce, spinach, radishes, and parsley they also like the cooler temperatures!
