As spring’s first warmth arrives, gardeners look forward to planting cool season vegetables that flourish in brisk weather.

 

Peas and radishes stand out for their toughness and speedy growth, making them perfect for starting the season.

 

Peas love cool earth and can be seeded directly outdoors as soon as the soil softens.

 

Bury pea seeds 1–2 inches deep and space them apart for best results.

 

A trellis or support helps climbing varieties thrive, with harvests expected in roughly 60 to 70 days.

 

Radishes are a quick win—sow seeds about half an inch deep and one inch apart.

 

They grow with impressive speed, often ready to pick in just 20–30 days.

 

For ongoing harvests, plant a new row every 10 days.

 

Starting your garden with these crops brings an early bounty and paves the way for a fruitful growing year.

Quote Of The Day

"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you." - Walt Whitman

Adopt a Pet

Meet Peanut, a 4-year-old, 61-pound sweetheart with a calm, easygoing personality.

 

He’s a gentle giant who enjoys company and brings a quiet comfort to those around him.

 

Potty trained and friendly, Peanut is now getting the care he needs to gain weight and strength.

 

He’ll flourish in a home with a family dedicated to his recovery and well-being.

 

As Peanut heals, he may need a little extra attention, but in return, he promises loyal companionship and a loving heart.

 

The adoption fee is $110 and includes spay/neuter, microchip, core vaccines, deworming, and flea treatment.

 

To ensure Peanut is still available, please call 360-352-2510, especially if you’re not viewing him on Animal Services' main website.
