The Peas Have Sprouted

It has been an anxious couple weeks since I put my peas into the ground but they are finally here!

I wasn't sure how well they would come up since I used saved seed from last years crop to plant this year, but I think almost every one that I planted has made it's way into the world.

 

I wish they would show up better in this picture, but if you look closely you can see the tiny green shoots poking through the straw.  They always seem so tiny in the begining, but I am sure they will really take off in the next few weeks.  I am hoping to get my first harvest from these peas by the end of May if I am lucky.....only time will tell.
