I think I forgot to mention it. I started some of it inside the house (which is still not planted outside because of the fence). Then my grandpa came over, brought some peas seeds, and helped me plant them. I also planted leeks, lettuce, beets, and tomatoes. Everything's been doing great except the tomatoes (because it's been rainy and cold for a while.)
The other night Charlie and Sam shelled the peas (if you've never done this, you must) and then we had a small bowl of them for dinner! They are SO good! You should grow some. But don't plant them in the heat, they like it chilly (beginning of spring, end of fall).
p.s. The other day I went out there to check on the garden and guess what I found?! Deer poop! I guess some deer have found my garden, even here in the city.

Wow I can't belive you have peas to eat already. That's great! Did you cook them after you shelled them? I think I have only eaten frozen peas like that.
(sorry, deleted comment was me. wrong account)
Great post. But you could always move to California for even better gardening...
I have a little garden on my half-balcony in LA. It gets almost no direct sun and we've had a really windy, gloomy spring, and yet my plants are growing too fast. I have three tomato plants (grown from seed in late Jan.) in tiny 1-gallon pots that are all taller than me and loaded with little green tomatoes. Peppers are already ready to be picked. The mint and sage were beautiful until the inchworms got to them. Oh well, maybe it's not that perfect...
Your Garden looks great leigh,
It has been to hot here to get peas. We planted too late.
Love DAD
