First outdoor seeds are planted

I soaked the snow peas (Melting Sugar) for about five hours while we were at YHEC.



Since there is nothing else in the bed and I am thinking about possible loss due poor germination and cold weather, I planned 16 plants per this "approximately square foot shaped" planting area.



Then covered it with this handy bird cage to keep the grackles out of my pea seedlings.



I only got 50% germination on the snapdragons (First Ladies mixed colors). So I tried moving seedlings to get one per cell in the tray.



I also started nine Swiss Chard (Neon Lights mix) and nine lettuce (Salad Bowl) seeds today.
