Persephone Crowning

The myth of Persephone is the story of rebirth. Plants pushing up from the underworld were they spent the dark days of winter. I saw a bit of Persephone in my garden on Valentine's Day.

Daffodils

Tulips

Then there were signs of budding on trees and bushes.

As Persephone said in Latin,

Tempus Fugit!

It is time I get my new square foot garden ready for peas in Mid-March.

Snow Peas Update

I planned to get the Snow Pea seeds into the ground on St. Patrick's Day, 17March, but that didn't happen. I planted the snow pea seeds 4April. Here is a review and update on the peas.

The Snow Peas have grown to about 9"/23cm in 6 weeks. I do not see any flower buds. I expect harvest will be in June.


Even before the harvest I will be planting melon seeds in two squares and cucumber seeds in the other two squares in the back of the plot. That will probably happen very close to 1June.
