sugar snap peas
ya gotta plant them... sweet as sugar
most people that try mine eat them all raw
and they never make it to the stir fry dish
or steamer... mine i planted starting march 7th
with succession plantings every week following
they are now a foot high and absolutely loving this rain.
once a week i pour a weak fish emulsion fertilizer on the row.
when you go to buy them they're $5.00 dollars per pound and up
i just laugh....pfff and the usual quality is crap.
the thing is: they are the easiest to grow vegetable period.

No tips, but how do I keep the @#$%^&8ing Chipmunks and Squirrels out of my fruit trees.
I guess I could move them from the trees to a stew pot, but that is a last resort....

ya gotta feed-em
cuz they'd much rather eat black oiled sunflower seed than fruit any day....
otherwise you have to use some sort of slippery metal rap around the tree so when they jump up to climb they slide off indefinately.
of course it depends on the tree size and the trunk shape too.

Tomatoes, peppers, carrots radishes, beans, parsley, cukes, zukes, yeller squash, celery, basil, spinach and onions. Decided not to do potatoes this year which I am sure I will regret come the 4th of July camp fire when I dont have any home grown spuds to roast! Oh well.
Tips-Peat moss, compost, ashes, compost, water, compost. Oh and you cant forget compost and compost.

Lettuce, swiss chard and spinach are up and growing
Cukes are up.
I've got enough oregano to start a spice factory.
Corn is sprouting...everything else is going in after the damn rain.
