Yesterday I put both the 50 ft red heated hose (didn't use it this winter,) And the 100 ft blue heated hose into storage. My old burn barrel (that is a plastic trash can) that got cracks on the bottom, but has wheels, is a great place to store them until next winter. It lives in the Carriage House, which is a one car garage and also houses my God (riding) Kubota mower and tow wagon.

This is a repeat on the thread, What have you planted today?
This morning I planted a 2nd row of 62 sugar snap peas, 25 Mammoth Salmon Cream Sweet Peas, and a package of turnip greens, probably 100 or so seeds. I lightly covered the peas, then sprinkled the turnip green seeds on top, in anticipation of today's rain.
One more row to go, probably More sugar snap peas, vintage 2022, and then...something else. I have some Mesclun Lettuce seedlings up in their Winter Sowing jug, and I will be transplanting that and others when they are big enough, so as to fill in any spaces where weeds want to grow next to my vegetables.

I intend to harvest seeds from the two types of peas and from the sweet peas, whose seeds are 1/2 the diameter of the peas and black.
Since last year was such a nothing for me in planting, I have Lots of old seeds that I intend to plant pretty much everywhere, really with NO purpose to harvest and eat (or enjoy, like the flowers), More to have them grow and fill in spaces in between vegetables. There are so many "companion" lists out there it will be easy to know where to put them.
