Everyone seems to have spring fever............
I'm also itching for it to warm up a bit more. Although some things planted are showing their faces now.
Potatoes are really pretty plants so far - really green ! I have never seen them before. They range from 1/2" high to 5" high. I've no idea why they all growing diffferently since most were planted the same day.
Pole beans are just starting to unfold under the straw. Pinto beans are about 4" high and if no frosts should do well.
Thanks people for the info on the garbanzo's.... I bought some to plant, and make sure I get them in the ground tomorrow if they are that slow of a grower!

“All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” ~ George Orwell

(Just had to break the silence after learning that it is going down to
27(which means 24 or so for me) Sunday night and then 31 (28) on Monday
night. I am so frustrated!!!! Why can't Spring come and STAY?
And of course, it is raining AGAIN.
And there is a 50% chance of rain on both Sunday and Monday, AGAIN
My garden is flooded under an inch of water STILL because new springs
keep popping up-thank God for raised beds, but I want to plant corn and
beans! My peas are under water, and since they can't swim, I'm
assuming
they have drowned...they look a bit pea-ked<g>.
The creek ran from Wednesday to Sunday, the longest time ever,
disappeared on Tuesday afternoon, started up yesterday afternoon and it
running full bore right now. I'm starting to get used to the creek
running.
