Last Sunday granddaughters helped me "mud in" the first 3 flats of pea seedlings and plant a row of fava beans. Then today youngest gd helped plant the onions, water the cabbage I planted and pick up grass clumps and rocks from the rows where I put the beets, spinach, lettuce, radishes and carrots. Then I put the presprouted pea seed in the house into toilet paper roll halves. Never tried that before. Hope they don't go too soggy before I plant them out. I will obviously have to use a spatula to take them out of the flat since there is no bottom. I also planted some peas into the garden in paper bathroom cups. They stayed firm enough that I ripped the bottoms off as I thought the plants would have a difficult time pushing the roots through.

Today went out and despite sprinkling blood meal down the row, something had eaten off a 1/2 dozen pea plants, so spread hair down the row. I didn't see fresh deer tracks so think it was a rabbit.

The greenhouse isn't finished enough to put plants in it so the sunporch is still serving as a greenhouse with the new seedlings sharing the space with the overwintered flowers and ferns.
