The peas are looking for something to climb so it is time to build the trellis for them. If you remember we put T-posts in the garden when we laid it out, before we planted anything. We did this so we would not disturb roots by driving the posts after the plants were growing.

Also once I got done doing everything, I discovered that the bottom wire was too high for the plants to reach. One of the great thing about T-Posts is that they hold wire strongly, but you can slide the wire up and down by bending wire out on the nub side of the T-post, moving it, and then flattening the wire back out. So that's what I did to slide it down.
Then I had to untangle the peas and lean them over to the trellis. The natural fibers of the twine did a good job of grabbing the tendrils.

I thinned the mustard and turnip greens. I did it with scissors the same way I thinned the radishes. Watch thinning radishes here. 

The other plants seem to be growing well. There are some tiny weeds coming up all over so I did some pulling there.
The red lettuce did not come up at all, and have given up hope on them. I am not going to replant because the crop won't have time to grow before we use the square for another crop.

One Swiss chard has finally come up. Maybe some others will follow soon. The square it is growing in is scheduled to have the chard all year so I may replant.

The carrots are getting close to thinning. If you remember we broadcast the seed instead of planting them in neat rows. Also, some of the carrot seeds washed into surrounding squares, but not as many as I might have feared.

We planted a few tomatoes very early for television reasons. Over the weekend there was a frost warning, so we had to cover them up to protect them.  Because the only time I could get to the garden was the middle of the day, I did not want to use plastic because the plants would have been cooked in their little greenhouse. So I used a piece of fabric we had laying around. I put stakes in the ground by the plants to keep them from getting crushed and held the fabric down with stones and bricks we had lying around. Before I covered them, I watered using cool water. Water holds a lot of heat that will be released as the temperature drops. It worked and the plants are still alive.  The forecast looks clear of frost for the next week or so, but we need to watch it closely. We are still two weeks from the average frost free date here in Memphis.

Looks like they came though just fine. We'll be ready if it gets cold again.
