Plant first - Read Instructions Later

So, I made my way through the mud into the garden across the street this afternoon.  I told myself that if I were a real farmer, I wouldn't let a soggy little ground stop me, right?

I planted the seedlings I bought Friday;

Red Cabbage
Red Onion
Tuscano Kale
Cauliflower
Lettuce

This went pretty well.  It was wet, but the plugs seemed to appreciate it, soaking up the water and standing tall. This half of my plot was soggy, but not squishy.  I decided to do a little direct seeding here and seeded my carrots around where I plan to plant my tomato plants.

Then I decided to plant a couple rows of peas.  It's time and the pea season is so short, I wasn't willing to waste another day.  I dug my two trenches, 8" apart and 9' long.  The ground was super squishy.  When I stepped into it, I sank and stuck!  I ignored the squish and sowed my seeds, covered the trenches, packed up and came home.

THEN - I decided to research planting peas in wet soil.

I guess now I know - peas love nice dry soil.
