#peas

Planted a row of peas, two rows of beets, six patches of radish, one of spinach, and one of arugula. The patches I just broadcast the seed and 5 fingered it in and tamped. It can be thinned. Skipped the other cleaned bed for now and the frozen end beyond the arugula since it has some grass that needs cleaned out when it thaws.

MDPIReducing Agricultural Land Use Through Plant-Based Diets: A Case Study of RomaniaBackground/Objectives: Agricultural systems face increasing global pressure to address sustainability challenges, particularly regarding land use and environmental protection. In Romania, where traditional diets are heavily dependent on animal-based products, optimizing land use is critical. This study investigates the potential of plant-based diets to reduce agricultural land use, examining scenarios of partial and complete replacement of animal protein with plant protein sources (soy, peas, and potatoes). Methods: The research modeled three dietary transition scenarios—replacing 33%, 50%, and 100% of animal protein with plant-based protein—using data from the Romanian National Institute of Statistics, the FAO, and international sources. Land use was calculated for each scenario using formulas that take into account protein content and land use intensity for animal and plant protein sources. The simulations quantify the reduction in agricultural land use at the per capita and national levels. Results: The study reveals significant land-saving potential across all scenarios. At the national level, land use reductions ranged from 84,020 hectares (33% replacement) to 1,067,443 hectares (100% replacement). High-impact products such as beef and dairy continue to dominate land use, even in partial replacement scenarios. Conversely, replacing pork and chicken proteins shows substantial savings. The findings highlight the inefficiency of animal-based protein production and the ecological benefits of transitioning to plant-based diets. Conclusions: A dietary shift towards plant-based protein in Romania could achieve significant reductions in agricultural land use, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. This transition not only supports environmental conservation and resource optimization, but also provides public health benefits by reducing consumption of red and processed meat. These results provide a basis for policies to promote sustainable and nutritionally balanced food systems

I discovered the birds had been eating my pea seedlings! Came back hours later to deal with it and they'd eaten even more!

You can tell it's birds if you see sharp, angular pieces taken out of your leaves. (see pea seedling in the first pic). Snails and slugs eat your leaves in a more curved pattern, carving out a little semi circle.

I improvised a chicken wire cage to keep them out, simply folding the sides down and folding the corners into shape.
