The First Crop of the Season is Out of the Ground
It's been 19 days since I planted my spring crop of snow peas. The 7-14 days germination time predicted for the Snowbird and Sugar Snap varieties was probably delayed by the chilly weather we've had. But the 70 degrees today and tomorrow will certainly do wonders for these early season veggies.
I can almost taste them now!
Another spring early bird are my hop vines. These guys grow voraciously- up to several inches a day in warm weather. It's still pretty chilly here in New York City but my hardy Cascade hops are already a foot tall.
Most of my herbs didn't survive the winter, but the chocolate mint made it. Looks like more homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream this summer!
Stay tuned. It's going to be a busy and exciting next few weeks in the garden!
