Last of the peas

Although we pulled the peas out a few weeks ago at The Plot, the ones in my front yard were still going strong. You'd think it would be too warm in August, but the weather remains cool - there haven't been too many days above the mid-70's. I finally pulled them out today, though, so here's my final harvest. Goodbye peas. Our snow peas and sugar snap peas were both delicious and very fruitful; next year I would like to try shelling peas also.

Sorry, I only had my Droid camera today.

I love August

Lotsa beans

Hey, I better freeze some of these. Am I supposed to blanch them first?

Our first potatoes

Who says you can't grow peppers here?

What happens in August?

Let's see...something new: we have one good-sized pepper and some summer squash coming on. The broccoli is gone, but we have spinach we can eat now, with other greens plus broccoli raab not far behind. We pulled the peas out, and a couple of cucumbers are ready to climb up the newly-empty trellis. Here and there, we are eating carrots, turnips, beets and parsnips. And a whole week of warm weather is in the forecast. Stand back....three tiny tomatoes on my porch are showing some color.
