Karen and I headed down to the garden on St. Patrick's Day to plant the famous Sweet Peas that were originally seeded by Brenna's pre-school class, and which have been gradually growing in the garden's greenhouse (how 'bout that for an alliteration!).
We transplanted them from a few large pots with care into the 'Love' garden bed. They found a home next to some recently planted romaine lettuce. Here are a few pics:

| After planting, we tied the peas to some stakes to help them grow nice and tall. |

And in honor of St. Patrick's Day, here's a picture just sent to me from our cousin Thomas McDonagh, who lives in Cork, Ireland. This is a picture of my great-grandparents, Festy and Honor McDonagh, who raised 11 children on the west coast of Ireland, a stones-throw from the Atlantic Ocean in Clifden.
