Garden Check - April 11, 2025

I checked on the garden yesterday, expecting chaos, and was pleasantly surprised.

Despite all the rain we've had, all but a few of the tomato plants are surviving (so far).  

The broccoli looks great.

Onions are up, some 6" tall.

A few of the anasazi beans have sprouted.  The soil above them is a hard crust right now from having been pounded by rain.  I'm going to the garden later today to see if I can crack the crust without digging up the seeds.

None of the snow pea seeds have sprouted.  I may keep the faith for a while longer.  Last week, I planted some ornamental sweet peas, which the instructions said should be scarified and might take 2 weeks to sprout.  Snow peas might be slackers, too.  Although I planted some last year, I can't remember how long they took to sprout. I should go back to last year's posts and figure it out.

P.S. - It took less than two weeks for last year's peas to sprout.
