Our neighbors S & J live immediately behind us and my veggies actually live on their property. J is a gardener by profession, so needless to say their garden is spectacular and I can always rely on them for advice, and in a pinch a pot and soil too!They encouraged me to plant the additional peas in an empty pot they had, and so my garden grows.
This morning we planned an outing to Flora Grubb (see photo at top) with J & S for a pre-planting pick-me up of Ritual coffee and purchase of some herbs and other plants for S & J. Anyone who is even remotely interested in plants or coffee should familiarize themselves with this city gem. Even out-of-towners should plan a visit. Every nook and cranny is impeccably styled and filled with the best and most unusual plants and accessories. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. floragrubb.com and her blog floragrubb.com/florasblog.
Strange observation of the day... When I planted the peas on the 11th I took the tallest of the bunch. The rest stayed indoors. Now the indoor pea shoots are twice as tall, but with smaller leaves. It seems as if they've decided to put their energy into finding light where the ones outside have found light and now are opening up shop.
The newly planted peas are planted and waiting for the circular tomato trellis, so they have somewhere to grow.
