Purple Tulle WITH Glitter for the Peas

I use bargain basket tulle to protect the snow peas and sugar snap peas from hungry birds. Seeds were planted two weeks ago and seedlings are poking up this weekend.

Peas, Please

Peas Love the Cool Weather

 The spring has been cool, so the snow peas and sugar snap peas are happy. We should see a bumper crop.

Snow Peas and Sugar Snap Peas

The strategy of covering the young seedlings with tulle worked to keep the birds at bay. One side of the pea fence is snow peas and the other side is sugar snap peas. I can't remember which is which, but we'll know when the peas set.

Gardening with Tulle

First, it was glitter, now more girly-girl additions to the garden beds. This tulle is protecting the snow peas and sugar snap peas just peeking through the soil. Blackbirds love to eat these tender sprouts, so hopefully, the tulle to protect the young plants.

Sugar Snap Pea

We planted snow peas and sugar snap peas two weeks ago, and both are popping up. This is a sugar snap pea.

Planting Peas

Snow peas and sugar snap peas went into the ground this week. We often joke that planting snow peas makes it snow. But I saw some fairly nice weather in the forecast for this weekend.
