Sugar Snaps are coming

We had very bad weather this weekend. There was a high risk tornadoes, winds, hail and heavy rain. I was worried that the garden could be damaged but we managed to dodge a bullet.

I have been eating lettuce, spinach and radish all three days this weekend.


The sugar snap peas are starting to bloom. I planted these seeds about 8 weeks ago. The are now about 4 feet tall. One of the interesting thing is that the vines are pretty delicate and it is now only at this height are they stating to bloom. The blooms are only on the new growth. So I have add another 4 feet of netting to support the vines and the new blossoms.

The other thing that will be ready to eat soon is the Swiss Chard. Last year the plants were very prolific and you just keep harvesting the outer leaves and the inner leaves grow to replace them in a few days.
