Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

Dunno about YOU, but I have tried doing garden cleanup in the Fall--IMPOSSIBLE!
Right after my Salsa Party we run until New Year's.
Then, I have tried doing garden cleanup in May, but by then we should have planted and nutured our garden.
I am focusing on cleaning up NOW, taking advantage of really nice March weather.
Hence, fill the tow wagon, burn the next day, repeat.
I have 2 sample packets of Alaska pea plants, totaling 10 peas. I have a great place to plant them tomorrow, along the big garden north fencing. It is limited this year bc I planted German red garlic in 1/2 of the walkway, so there is only about 6 ft of fencing to use.
Although I was hoping to get them planted today, I was too worn out, so I will have to dodge the rain drops tomorrow, instead.
Since I've never grown them, I hope to save the seeds and have a couple of harvests from them.

Just planted a sample packet of Alaska peas. Thought that there were 11, but I dropped some, some I physically planted 9, under a 9 ft fence line and interspersed in between and south of them with 25 Bloomsdale Spinach and about 40 French Marigolds.
Stormed furiously last night--we were under a tornado watch --expecting heavy rain in the next few hours.
SO Proud of myself actually getting seeds in the ground!!

Porcelain garlic is up!

Awesome! Not easy to do gardening stuff when your body is giving you trouble. Keep your eyes on your peas, Alaska peas are very unforgiving when it comes to late picking. They turn to starch soooo quick, harvest asap once pods form. (Ask me how I know! lol) They are tasty, just catch them in time.
