The Beds are Full

My back is sore, but in a good way. We positioned and filled the livestock tank that we'll use as the downspout planter, and we also mixed the topsoil with the compost and filled the beds (two out of three shown below).

Finally, after nap time, M helped plant seeds: sugar snap peas to climb the fence, plus mustard, radishes, and good old dried Goya green peas for pea shoots and ground cover till we plant other stuff.

That last part hit me as a revelation a couple years ago: that ordinary dried peas (not split peas) would work as well for pea shoots as anything you could order from a seed house, and for 99 cents per pound.

We also started some tomato seeds - the heretical Florida greens, and some Berkeley Tie Dies I saved from last year. Let's see what these hybrids spit out in the second generation.
