planting day!

Plantings today
- silverbeet
- leeks
- spring onion
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- peas

I'm debating whether I should try for one more crop of corn this season. It took...four months for the last crop? From late September through to mid-Jan. Which means I'd be looking at...June? Maybe? Unless I cloched them and kept them cloched for pretty much the first month. Might work...

Plantings next week:
- beetroot
- carrot
- parsnip
- radish
- swedes

I'll be looking to plant some of those things in the not to distant future; however, my garden is still covered by approximately half a meter of compacted snow/ice, lol.

The rule of thumb is to plant peas at St Patrick's day, but this year it looks like I might have to wait until April.

I'm not sure what the rule of thumb for peas is around here - peas is a winter crop through most of Australia. I think they go spindly (and dry out and die) if you plant them through the summer here...
