The Plant Store!

It has been unseasonably warm here, which has sent everyone in Boise scurrying to the nearest plant store--me included. There's a great little nursery just down the street, where I found these
I don't know how they taste, but don't you just love the idea of Crayon carrots??? To go with them, I thought another variety of radish was in orderthough I don't know why I'm bothering. Theo keeps digging up the radishes. No matter how hard I try, there's just no way to convince him that the garden really isn't one giant cat box...

Meanwhile, my pea, bean & flower starts are doing well:
I was pretty amused to see people buying pea plant starts at the nursery. I love peas and certainly encourage everyone to grow them, but they aren't exactly difficult to grow. Here we have one growing out of an airhole in the compost bin
and there are now at least 10 coming up around or near where we planted them last year
(the pile of horse manure not even slowing them down), and after the mistake of using compost to repot a houseplant, I have pulled a pea plant out of a peace lily. If there is one plant that darn near anyone can grow from seeds, I think it must be peas.

Keeping them from growing--that might be the challenge......
