Default Sweet Peas and Asparagus

Yesterday I planted my first round of sweet peas. I don't have root trainers so I'm growing them in red plastic cups (the kind you see at parties for beer?). I'll simply cut down the sides of the cups and plant out the whole section. I soaked the seeds for 24-48 hours (some had to be soaked twice because they didn't plump). Sowed 3-4 per cup. I'll do another round at the end of Feb or beginning of March and a third round in mid to late March.

Today I sowed Asparagus. Mary Washington and Purple Passion. Same as the Sweet Peas. Soaked for 24-48 hours, planted 3-4 a cup.
