A May day at the plot - Arbor, trellising snow peas, walking onions, "surprise" onions

For the first time in a long time (approx 3 weeks), I had free time, wasn't sick, and wasn't out of town.  As a result, I hustled to the plot to get a few hours' work accomplished.

First, I set up trellising for the snow peas to climb.  They had grown 6" since I was last out there.  All in all, they looked pretty good considering they've been very neglected.

I weeded the entire plot.  Thankfully, not much was needed, but there were more thistles than I wanted.

I also set up a gridwork of trellising on the arbor for the scarlet runner beans to climb once I get those planted.  I also watered everything.  The Egyptian Walking Onions (bottom right picture) are now all over 12" tall with the "Surprise Onions" (bottom left picture) all being at least 20" tall.
