I always start my broccoli inside... size or crop never seems to be an issue... if those plants get any bigger ( once in the garden) I'm afraid they will grab me while I'm sleeping!...
I always sow peas directly... question.. I've always ( I grew up a farmer) planted peas in hills ( 4 plants to a hill) with a common center stake... I know some people like rows.. last year the pea crop was the only one that I wasn't pleased with..and for a change I planted rows because I moved some stuff around to rotate the crop a little..I'm going back to hills this year...
cant wait until those first asparagus shoots come up... we've pretty much gone through everything in the freezer... only thing left is tomato sauce and white perch!
