Peas but no pods (yet)

The first outside seeds without the cold frame to protect them went in today. Sugar snap peas are in the ground and ready to climb up the trellis that I built along the porch. I also put in a couple of rows of carrots (Danver's Half Long variety) from Seed Savers as well as a row of Swiss Chard.

The spinach and lettuce in the cold frame are going gangbusters. It's time for another planting of spinach so we can start having salad from the first planting in the cold frame. I also pulled the mint out of the frame and re-potted it in a larger container to spread in for the summer. We like to make mint tea and it requires a lot of leaves.
