Planted carrots, onion bulbs, pak choi, lettuce and rads in the garden over the weekend.
Raining today. Overnight of 35 degrees. Should be in the fifties later today.
All the peas are coming up.
Worried about it freezing overnight for the next couple of nights. We shall see.
I live on a sea of sand and alkali patches, in a barren desert, at the far end of a small sprawling community in Northern Nevada. Desolate, wind swept country. This is my hard won slice of paradise. Against all odds, I cultivate trees, flowers, vegetables, peace and contentment. This is my garden in the sun.

Spring Planting
Beets - Five feet
Carrots - 8 feet
Snow Peas [Pod] - 20 feet
Garden Peas - 30 feet
Snap Peas - 15 feet
Radishes - 5 feet
Yeah, still more to do today but it is break time. I don't want to over do it since Hubby and I are finishing up the horse fencing tomorrow.
To get all those veggies in, I had to hand turn over the soil, rake it out and then plant. I also moved two wheel barrow loads of old compost out of the new horse pen but have several loads left. I am going to keep chipping away at that. I also kept working on shoveling dirt away from the goat fencing as it is getting quite deep there and my five foot fence is turning into a four foot fence.
I love shoveling but my little arms can only do so much at a time.
