Weeds or Seeds?

I am pretty impatient with this whole garden!! I have some green stuff sprouting up, but I am not sure if the greens are peas pods, onions or weeds! So I guess I won't be pulling them up until I know it's a weed for sure.
We had some good rain here over the weekend too so my garden is nice and damp and the crops should prosper--right??? My wonderful mom in law brought me quite a few strawberry plants the other day, but she told me not to put them in my garden unless i wanted the whole space to be taken over by strawberries. So now I need dear husband to build some wire fence contraption to keep our dog out of my berry plants!
I am also in the mood to plant some type of wild flower(s) mix around the garden fence. Any ideas? I love recommendations on topics I know NOTHING about.
I have a great giveaway coming this week...stay tuned!

Planting the seeds

Well I finally planted something!
Peas. I HATE peas! Oh well. I might learn to tolerate them now. They most likely taste a lot better fresh then from the can. It's one of the few vegetables that are OK to plant out of season. I was itching to plant something so I did. I picked weeds and put out organic weed stopper and then planted about 30 pea seeds. I think we are to get more rain tomorrow so that will be good for them. I just realized how big the garden really is after planting my first crop. I have a lot of space to work with. I can be impatient with projects and this is one of them. I don't really want to do anymore research on gardening. I hope I don't mess this up! I added some pics of the garden. I only weeded part of it and I am pretty sure I was pulling up tree roots today!

Garden update....

I think I might have to start planting something in the garden this week!! I might be jumping the gun on this but, I am a beginner and I am supposed to make mistakes right???
Matt cleaned it out since we got some nice rain here and the weeds started in with a vengeance. I have to get in there and finish what he started, but that's fine by me.

My brother is interested in getting a worm compost pile going and I might join in the wormy fun. It's really amazing what those worms can do. I had no idea that they hatch from cocoons. Kind of creepy , but neat at the same time. He is reading more on that so I will let him teach me the ways once he is an expert.
