The first snow peas from the spring garden are ready. Planted Saint Patrick's Day, they took three months to grow - through a few snow falls and quite a few freezes. The deer hit them hard in early May, so I put some fence up to keep them out. The lettuce also looks great and has been ready for a few weeks. But the spinach and radishes did really poorly. The radishes put all their energy into shooting out leaves, and produced very little root growth. I'm wondering if my soil is low in phosphorous - so I think I'll give radishes a try again this fall, but fertilize them with 0 - 20 - 0 fertilizer and see what happens.
