Break out the gardening gear

It's almost St. Patricks Day - and that can only mean one thing. Time to plant peas! They're always the first thing I plant each spring, a much-anticipated event, heralding the imminent arrival of spring and fresh food from the garden.
There's nothing like getting the pitchfork out and turning over those first few rows of soil, after a long winter of no contact with the earth. This weekend I'll be planting snow peas, pod peas, spinach and perhaps some other greens.
I love this season!
