Peas, peas, peas, and more peas.

Every 3-4 days, I have at least 13 gallons of peas to pick, shell, wash,
blanch, and freeze. Do this every year, but seem to have a lot more
than usual.

Not really sick of them, but they (& the work mostly) are getting rather
*old*. LOL. Was even seeing them in my sleep last night...go figure!

What have you had excess of in your garden this year that you are *sick*
of?

Rae
Malabar spinach. Self sows. Grows very fast and willl vine and take
over everything. If you don't eat em you got to weed em. Best eaten
fresh.
The local deer took out our Malabar this year and almost everything
else. Shot one in the ass with my BB gun who was munching our baby
Japanese maples.

Guess you know sweet potato vines can be used the same way.

Bill

PS new neighbor asked if his dad can hunt on our lands.

Duh

lol, we had one trying to hunt in our pasture last year.....dummy, he
was. had another dummy who's best hunting dog thought our horse here at
the house was a deer...real bright I'd say.


By Duh I meant it was a given or please do. These guys hunt in Montana
every year. Not stupid by a long shot. Pun.

Yeah, I figured that.........but these self-proclaimed "rednecks" around
here aren't too bright, if they think they are going to find deer in
fenced in pastures....

Serious hunters that eat their kills.

Deer here eat everything as do the new ground hogs that came here in
the last three years. I'd guess habitat loss is the reason for the
encroaching loss of our gardens.


Bill who has a deer about 30 feet from my house often.
