It is unbelievably early (April 3) but the ground is dry and warm so I put in a small planting of our delicious sweet and tender garden peas and one double row of broad beans . The earliest that we have ever planted in the past has been April 10 and we have been doing the market garden peas since 1986.
Peas are very frost tolerant in the spring.
If the weather was to stay this unseasonably warm, we could potentially be picking peas the end of June. Picture is of our precision seed drill and our little tractor that I use to plant our 25 or so acres of garden peas and beans every year.
We sure could use some rain, it is very dry.
