Who saw the fences falling/Who broke the ploughman's bread
Peas are seen. Seems I had been going out and interviewing my vegetable patch every day, but didn't see the start of any snow peas. And then, there seemed to be a handful of varying lengths. Not sure how I missed the longer ones on previous strolls.

How many sheaves were counted/How did the carriage shine
The roll call on the rest of the plantings is pretty much as it was a month ago. The radishes are doing well. Sampled one the same night I took the photo of the snow pea. Flavorful with a nice bite at the finish. They probably could still double in size. The summer and fall squash have at least sprouted some leaves. Right now, it would be impossible to tell the difference between the two were it not for an artistic rendering on my kitchen counter of what was planted where. No sign of blossoms yet.

Where were the gifts of promise/Where were the gifts divine
The tomatoes have broken through the ground and the tallest of the plants may be 6" high, but a long long way to go if they are to bear any fruit this year. I'm thinking unlikely. Definitely will use starters for them next year. Ditto on the hot peppers that never broke soil. Lastly, the cucumbers seemingly started well, though stalled. I'm not giving up hope on them completely, but it doesn't look like I'll have enough variety to make a salad from my own yard this year.
Anyhow, the soundtrack in my mind's ear has been spinning Big Country's "Harvest Home" nearly non-stop since I saw the snow pea pod. Just as you sow, you shall reap
