In the ground

I did not soak the peas that we planted today, contrary to Mel's advice. But Ian's baby elephant gave them a good soaking once they were in the ground.



Two strawberry plants with the green leaves excite the garden. Even if they don't produce anything, they make the space seem like someplace things could grow.

Despite my over planning, I put the peas where I didn't necessarily want them. I was going to plant the 4 squares that my cover will cover (and keep the birds away from the seeds) with 2 strawberry plants, peas, and lettuce. So, I thought I'd put the peas in the square furthest into the garden, but between corralling two kids, they went in the very corner, so we'll have to reach over the strawberry to harvest the lettuce. Hopefully, the strawberry won't get too trampled—although Molly's already crawled over both plants and given it her best effort to rip their leaves off.
