Plant the green on St. Paddy's Day
Kerri Thoreson
Back in the day, my late mother, Alice Rankin, was a master gardener, teaching classes through the county extension office. Brad and Mary Corkill said several years ago that my mother advised them to always plant peas on St. Patrick’s Day, even if they had to break through ice to do it. They’ve done that every year since and the proof is in the beautiful 8-foot-tall plants that result. Brad reports they have the planting bed ready for their 2025 crop of beans.
Mom would be so pleased.
