Today promises to be a warm day here in southern Maine. That's a good thing since today is the day the peas are scheduled to go into the garden. Other cool weather crops that get planted today are scallions, spinach, lettuce, shallots, and radishes. The mini hoop is coming down, but the cold frame is staying outside to provide a little shelter for seedlings.Inside on the grow table, the peppers are doing great. I'm already drooling whenever I think about cheese filled jalapenos. Broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts are all up and looking strong. The celery root and the leeks continue to do well. I thinned out the celery root this morning and was surprised to see just how long the roots were. I also took a nibble on one of the seedlings that didn't make the cut. What a remarkable celery flavor!
The lettuce that I started back in March goes out to the garden today and in it's place under the light table go the tomatoes, basil and dill. Oooh. I have to go find some breakfast. All this talk about veggies is making me hungry.

Sounds like you will have a busy day! Too much rain here today in VA to do any gardening, but I will let the rain do the watering for me!
Plant a pea for me!
IG - we're supposed to have a whole week rain free here. Now that I have the seeds in though, it's kinda hard not to wish for a little rain to do some of that work.
FWKB- I don't have enough acreage to plant peas for you. :)
