The Maximalist is pleased to announce that her raspberries, currants, and apple tree are all sporting obvious growth and acceptance of their new home turf. These things are not a foregone conclusion especially considering recent weather.
On a similar note, peas, peppers, and squash is all successfully planted. No withering or weather damage observed on plants started indoors. Anchos and Habaneros here we come! Welcome to those cutesy wootesy mini yellow, red and orange sweeties as well.
More tomato seedlings to hit the soil next week.
Back to the peas. They have caused a stir in my home as peas are not a favorite of anyone save the Maximalist who likes them mature and raw. It is my garden and I will plant what I like! Anyway....I would be interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with pea-sprouts. I have heard about them in passing and will do some research, but this might serve as another great way to use bags of seeds (dried peas sold by the pound in the grocery store ARE seeds too)There is some thought that sprouted grains/seeds are slightly healthier for you as some sort of chemical is broken when sprouting occurs. Worth looking into.

What a great thing to know! Pea flavor and nutrition without a long summer wait! Plus you can use maximal plant! YAY. Less starchy too, no doubt.
