garden time again

we got a late start last year, so we're hoping to get a jump on it this year. and our first salvo is some snow peas. we got them to grow in the fall, but we got exactly one pea pod for the harvest (and it was quite tasty, by the way). time to try again, so we set up the trellis and planted the seeds, just in time for a bit of cooler weather, which snow peas seem to like (hence the name).

we got hammered by the slugs and other creepy-crawlies last year, so we're going to go on the offensive this time. also next up is planting some lettuce and spinach, and once it's a little warmer we'll start with the tomatoes and cukes. we'll do some herbs again, but I think we're skipping the squash and peppers, since they did so poorly last year. Michelle is especially excited about trying some cantalopes too.
