In truth, I do not envy you folks who write of
October frosts.

i'm hoping things will hold off for a bit
yet. i need a few more days to finish up the
staining and then a few other days to get
some other things done outside.


The Little Marvel peas that I planted earlier this month are
thriving. when the little peas babies are a few inches taller, pla jn to plant
some old timey mustard greens under them.

glad to hear things are going well.
have you done the mustard greens under
them before?


Will plant more peas on 9/29. This
time of year, I plant them at about three week intervals. The irony is that the
peas are most frost sensitive when they're in full bloom and, of course, that'll
be about the time we have freezing temperatures donw here. Tohse can occur
anytime between about thanksgiving and February: One never knows. Oh, my, typing
this is far too much work.

haha, well i hope you slept well after all
that?

i finished the first pick through of the
one pinto bean patch just in time before
this round of rains returned. shelled them
out as a nice break from staining. measured
them on the scale at about 10lbs. not bad
for a cover crop on a spot i'd normally have
left bare.
