planting peas

This past weekend I planted some peas. I overestimated how many I would need and presoaked too many seeds.  I went ahead and plant them anyways and will thin later.  Favas got planted as well as some carrot seed mats.  Our water at the community garden hasn't been turned on yet and it hasn't rained in a while so the soil was fairly dry.  We got 2 watering cans full of water from a nearby fountain, but that is not something I will be doing again.  More work than it is worth, next year I will wait until they turn the water on to plant peas regardless of how warm the weather is.  I also dug some new flowers beds out of an incline that was covered in weeds and those got planted with a variety of summer bulbs.  Unfortunately I forgot to charge my camera so no before and after pictures this time.  Snowdrops and Crocus are blooming in the area, although we don't have any in our plot.  We are looking forward to the daffodils planted last fall, they are about 15 cm high now.  And there are lots of mystery tulips coming up in various places.  The pak choi was starting to bolt so I harvested half of it and it got made into a rice noodle stir fry.  It still tasted great!  Our ground wasn't frozen at all, but when we went back the next day to check on the compost, which is in a somewhat shady corner, we discovered it was frozen solid.
