Well, the garden is off to a rough start. We got our plants at Southern States and those plants were in the “peat pots”. Last year, the plants were in the plastic pots and we just pulled them out and planted them. With peat pots you’re supposed to tear off the bottom of them and then plant them.
I guess the idea is that the pot will just disintegrate in the ground but the water doesn’t seem to move through the peat pot very well. The plant will dry out if the water isn’t placed directly in the top of the pot. Next year I’m either going back to the plastic pots or, I’ll just tear the peat pot off.
The peas were off to a roaring start but a rabbit seems to have come by and eaten the tops off of them. I was hoping that we wouldn’t have to use the fence again this year but it is going back up tomorrow!!

Off topic, but just a reminder that the U.S. Army Band
“Pershing’s Own” is slated to perform at the Harris Pavilion
from 3-4 PM today. They are always popular so come early
(and you may want to bring a lawn chair). The only caveat
is weather and right now it looks a go. Plus, of course,
it is no charge.
