It's amazing how fast everything is growing in the warm weather. The tomatoes are flowering, each squash leaf is like an umbrella for the soil, and the first pea flowers are turning to pods. Today we utilized poles from some invasive nandina that we just cut out of the front yard to build tepees for the vining pea plants. We planted some of the peas in the "3 Sisters" grouping practiced by the Native Americans: squash to shade the soil, and corn for the peas/beans to vine up. However, our corn isn't tall enough. The tepees are nice though, adding a great verticality to the garden.
