Baby Pea plants in the field


The first planting of our peas are up and we can see the rows very well now. They are looking great. Peas are a cold weather corp and can handle a few degrees of frost much better than asparagus.

Frost last night


Unfortunately, it got down to -3 last night so any aspargus that was up is frozen. The one I am holding is not froze, see the difference, the three in the background are transparent from the frost.

The frost does not hurt the roots of the plants and there will be lots of new tips poping up just as soon as we get a couple of warm days.
This is why asparagus is not meant to be grown in this climate.
