I've seen sunny days, part the twoth

This sunny day is brought to you by the letter 'P', because Palm Sunday and Peas.

Yes, my friends, I will (hopefully) never have to complain again that the vegetable stalls at the market don't have any fresh peas, for we have put some in the ground and are saying our prayers.

The chicken wire is to dissuade our feline neighbours from continuing to see this delightfully turned dirt as their litter box. We'll see how that sorts out.

In other news, I also planted madder and lady's bedstraw in an attempt to grow some dye plants. I've got some other things that will go in later - woad, weld, indigo and...another thing I can't remember off the top of my head. I figure, if we're going to have to go full-frontal post-apocalyptic life-skills, I'll want to dye some things. 

This all also came with a lovely chat with our upstairs neighbour who gave us some strawberry plants, which we've also put in a pot with an incantation. I mean, this is all just a giant experiment, anyway, right?
