What to Plant Now: Nov 2-7

We just passed the first quarter and the moon is now waxing gibbous going into a full moon. Now is also a time to seed-in plants that fruit and seed and can handle a cold snap if we have one. If you already planted these things, remember that it’s a good idea to succession plant and grow twice as much as you will need in case of disease and pest. As always, it’s best to transplant and seed-in with coming rains. 

DIRECT SEED 
Beans: Bush, Dry, Pole, Fava
Peas: Snow, Sweet, and Snap

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, you should soak pea seeds before planting, as it will help germination. A good rule of thumb is to soak the seeds in water overnight prior to planting. This will make them grow faster.
