We went to the garden....and planted peas. 4 rows of zipper peas, 2 rows of cream peas, and one row of mystery peas I saved from some plants last year that were mixed in with a different kind.

I just love this lil garden tractor. Mr Lilly's dad found it at a swap meet somewhere and bought it. Works great. And it's so little it's cute. Tractors aint normally cute lol

Source one? What'sat mean? LOL
Locate, buy, procure, bring one in. I was watching the tilled dirt and scrolled down and all of a sudden the corn was up. Thought if the corn comes up that fast the peas would also pop out quick.

Haha he can't make strait rows, never has been able to. I ask him ever time...."you been drankin?" But it don't matter....it'll grow in crooked rows just as well as it will in strait rows. :wink:

But...the corn wasn't planted with the planter....dropped it by hand. Peas we planted with the planter..had a couple malfunctions durin that process....I"m still not convinced the planter is a good thing. Because after planted three different kinda peas....then discoverin the whole shebang was plugged up and all the seeds ended up in the drop tube...then dumped one massive pile of peas on the ground. I sat and picked thru them sortin them back out again, and he put em back in the planter and went again. Thank goodness I'd wrote down what we planted on which rows or else we might just have a jumbled up mess of differnet peas growin. Still might have some of that haha. I planted one row by hand....so I know they got planted.
