Talking to my neighbor about the small 'drainage problem' we are learning about in our first winder on our property this week, I found out our house is built on an old swamp. No wonder the garden is still soggy wet, even after a little bit of decent weather. The water isn't standing in the garden, but it is not 'merely wet' either.
I'm normally against building high raised beds (they are expensive and difficult to work), however I may have to break down and bring in soil and build beds in order to have the garden dry out before June!
The peas are not coming up very well, and digging up a few seeds, they are basically just rotting in the cold, wet soil before they can sprout. Time to a last effort to plant peas inside to get them started and then transplant them out, and in the future, note to self to chit all early seeds to give them a head start.
