Trellis time!

Tomorrow, these guys will get transplanted outside:


But that will be tomorrow. 


I made a trip to a great garden and lawn store called Shell Lumber and bought some supplies:


Eight bags of organic soil, three bags of cow manure compost, three tomato trellises, and one bamboo trellis.  My raised bed is 7 inches tall, 20 inches wide, and 12 feet deep, which is about 12 cubic feet; which is exactly how much soil I bought.  I think I probably should've bought more due to the soil getting compacted.  That will be done tomorrow.

My snap pea plant has really been struggling in its peat pot; so I decided to transplant it today, along with 4 other peas that just sprouted overnight.




Transplanting was fairly easy.  The tiny sprouts you see had a single root as long as the peat pot was deep, which really surprised me.  I cut one of them by mistake, but I'm hopeful that it won't delay growth too much.  Everything was watered thoroughly.  Tomorrow will be a fun day!!!
