It’s weather that fools us most often, especially in recent years when heat domes and last year’s cold, wet spring played nasty tricks on us gardeners.
Happy April Fools’ Day. This day, for centuries, has been an occasion for playing tricks, which makes me wonder about tricks that commonly emerge to dupe gardeners.
Probably it’s the weather that fools us most often, especially in recent years when unforeseen heat domes and last year’s long, cold, wet spring played nasty tricks on us and our gardens. First, we cleared the leaf cover off a broad, three-metre long rectangle for the first row of shelling peas. We checked for tree roots and removed them in the most congested parts of the bed. Then, I marked out the line where the supporting wire for the peas would be set up, and set short stakes in three places where two-metre long green metal T posts were to be pounded into the soil.
Once the posts were in, and before positioning the wire against them and securing it well, we harvested two wheelbarrow loads of finished compost to spread over the pea plot and mixed it lightly into the top layer of soil along with a scattering of lime and slow-release fertilizer.
