Here We Grow...

Alright....A and I decided to take full advantage of the gorgeous sunshine we are having on this Pajama Monday. So while Had was napping, we decided to get our vry first crop planted. OK, by definition it's probably not exactly a crop but we did plant two rows of peas.

As we dug and raked over the dirt, we were greeted by a whole bunch of wormy friends (they weren't nearly as excited to see the sun as we were). But they'll do our garden good.

We then dug our trench and proceeded to gently place our 'pea sprouts' into their new home. A was ever so gentle doing this(if only I could convince her to treat her sister the same way).

And then once we decided that we had planted enough of them. We carefully covered them up, and now we are eagerly awaiting them to show thier little green faces . I can hardly wait....it seems as though there are a lot of recipes that are catching my eye that call for fresh spring peas.
And if fresh means from the garden...all the better.

Here is a picture of Carlos doing a little 'quality control,' although, since he is not convinced that he is in fact a cat and NOT A DOG, he may dig them up when we're not looking. Crazy Cat!

...and in case you're counting,

Spring will be here officially in ONE WEEK!
