This is an heirloom seed from Baker Creek. Mrs Aquillars is the name. So named after a woman in Louisianna. They will keep up to 6 months in a cool spot. We highly recommend them!!!

How does your garden grow?
We're eating radishes and lettuce as well we've been enjoying kale for some time. The peas aren't coming on like I had hoped, yet the beans look very promising!! I just started more pickling cukes today- all the tiny peppers and decent sized tomatoes are in- not too much else to do now but wait for our garden to grow!!!!

Garden time!
I love to garden! I love to see things grow!
I couldn't imagine being a farmer or gardener and not believing in God! We know that we don't " grow" anything! We don't give life to plants! We can only do our best to present the proper conditions for a seed to sprout and become a plant that bears fruit!
It is a wet year so far. I think the last frost will soon be behind us.
The peas are up and the radishes- the lettuce is peeking through as well. The first of the kale is about ready to harvest!
We're attempting to grow our potatoes in hay this year! We will let you know how that goes!
So what are you planting and how does your garden grow??

Peas Please!
Ok so were some of the rare persons who starts peas in pots. It's so wonderful to put them in the ground a few inches tall tho!
Well I was a bit behind the curve and my daughters peas began to GROW!! So I actually had to transplant them into bigger pots! Never done that before! Normally they would be outside by now but were having unusual snow storms and excessively cold weather. Some areas have 8 inches of snow!!
So these cold hardy peas will go out into the green house (as soon as they recover from the transplant) until these storms pass.
I was noticing as I was dealing with these young plants today: that they are much like small ( albeit) unruly children. Always requiring training and constant management to keep them from where they should not be! So they will have to be kept a fair distance apart before they are put out to pasture!!!! Otherwise it will be an impossible feat to plant them out if they're all intertwined together!
