Planting peas in the Earthbox


Snap peas around the tomato trellis



Two small tomato trellises fit well in the Earthbox



Light weight floating row cover provides shelter

Today I replanted the Earthbox on our deck. I had previously amended the soil with compost.  Believe it or not, the garlic chives have come back.  Talk about tough!  I had the snap peas growing inside for 2 weeks and more recently moved them outside into our small greenhouse.  I inserted 2 small tomato cages for the peas to climb up.  The cages also support light weight floating row cover that will provide a sheltered micro-climate for the peas while they get established.
