tilling time
So have you cleaned up your garden, or at least some of it? If so, till or turn over the soil with a shovel for next year's planting of peas, carrots and spinach. After tilling, put up fencing where the peas will be. Next year you can plant peas on both sides of the fence, right up close to the fence. I plant my carrots, lettuce, beets and spinach in wide rows, but you can plant them in single rows. I leave space around the area I will plant the peas so that I can plant cucumbers on each side of the fence, and when the peas are finished producing, then I train the cucumber plants up the same fencing. Double duty fencing, course I have removed the used pea plants and bag them for the dump. Try not to plan planting the crops where you planted them last year, rotate your plantings each year.
