Tom Thumb Peas are the cutest thing you have ever seen. They are a dwarf pea plant and look so darn adorable in containers. Pretty pea pods that form after white flowers grow on dwarf plants and they are so stunning. I put four seeds in one small terra cotta pot and I am hoping it will fill in and provide a nice centerpiece for the outdoor table. We purchased the seed from Seed Savers last year and they are typically sold out so we were lucky to get our hands on some. I would like to buy some more this year but I have really pushed my gardening budget already. (I might break down and do it anyway tho). Here is a pic.

We just purchased this home last August and we were delighted by how well spinach and lettuce did in the garden area. The summer before we purchased the home the backyard had flooded a lot do to an excessive amount of rain. The sellers of the house were just devastated to be selling the house with a big brown patch in the yard. Turns out it made the perfect garden and the dirt is like black gold. We could not be happier.
Today I started Broccoli Calabrese (6), Mammoth Red Rock Cabbage (6), Celebrity Tomato (6), Sweet Cherry Tomato (6), and Cucumber - Mrs. Pickler (6). I am going to try pickling this year because I literally have so many canning jars that I do not think I could grow enough food (even in a 75X25 garden) to fill them all with tomatoes and beans. Besides, sometimes I like pickles.

Well the garden is not going to take care of itself so, no time like the present.
