Our yarden has been somewhat neglected over the winter months, but these spring beauties have thrived despite the neglect. I really should get out there and get it sorted soon, and that includes planting my veg for the coming summer.

My sugarsnap peas are doing well though I didn’t get as many plants as last year. Its my fault as I grew this year’s batch where I grew last year’s and they don’t like that (of course I found this out after the fact, something about nitrogen rich soil). There is also sweetpea plant growing here which a couple of weeks ago had me believing I had gotten a packet of dud seeds (sweetpea and not sugarsnap pea) but it must have either been an errand one or a straggler from last year.
How and ever the plants that are growing are doing well, I have two small troughs of peas, one planted a lot later than this one. Again a small percentage of what I planted took, but even they are starting to flower.
It is amazing what you can grow in a small place, even a concrete small place. I’ll post more pics over the weekend of my efforts.

[Edited to make this paragraph clearer!]
I did a clean-up of the back yarden a couple of weeks ago (when I took these pics) and since then all the flowers are blooming beautifully. The tomato plants are now reaching the top of the greenhouse and everything is (mostly) looking good, more on that soon with pics. Hard to believe this was taken just a couple of weeks ago given how some of the plants are coming along.
