Yes, we don't get early spring peas like other places do - because of our late frosts. But starting under row cover works really well for the earliest possible. Pea crop is typically in July or even August though. And for real slackers like me, maybe September!
I just pulled my carrots - experimental rotation in the garlic bed, planted too late. Well they are crisp and lovely but as yet very small.... the yield if compared to what is on the market would not equal value of the price I paid for the seeds, or the time it took to pull them.
And since I want to plant garlic there pretty soon indeed, I can't just leave them to get (even a little!) bigger. Oh well.
Carrots are a good crop to plant late - mid July - in order to avoid the carrot rust fly. No flies on these, and no wireworms in the bed which is good news alright! But I should've used my head about late rotations before a fall planted crop.. doh.
