With the soil tilled and composted its time to get some plants in the ground. The peas have been growing like crazy and were very ready to move outside. Katie was willing to assist and you can see how long the plants have grown.
When Kevin started digging holes for the peas he discovered some pvc pipe. Turns out that when previous owners put the pool in they capped off the pipes for the sprinkler system and left all the sprinkler pipe and sprinklers in the ground. There was a short delay while Kevin dug it all up.
Soon it was back to planting, just watch out for the trench.
There are five pea plants ready to go in.
Kevin tore the newspaper off the bottom of the plants but left it at the top in hopes it will keep some of the bugs away. They need a net to climb on but hopefully soon we will be able to enjoy some fresh peas.
