Snap pea harvest

Snap pea harvest

The freeze marred the snap peas, so I harvested them even though they were small. They tasted OK. Yes, this is the full harvest. But it is better than nought!

Back to the drawing board

So covering my herb pots with clear plastic shower liner did not protect the plants from freezing. It seemed like a good idea. It is a good thing I have skills in other areas, and that there are farmers who do know how to grow things.

Happy peas

I’m not the only one enjoying this nice fall weather. The pea plants have a bunch of delicate white flowers! We’ll see if they get pollinated and bear fruit. If they do, it will be the largest “harvest” yet. Maybe we will each get one pea pod!

Paperwhites

Paperwhite narcissus

My paperwhite narcussus are blooming a month earlier than last year. Yup. In November. Yup, last year they bloomed in December. I planted the bulbs the previous winter. I hope they persist and multiply, because I rather like no maintenance flowers that bloom at weird times. It amuses me, and that is something to be thankful for.

Uh, creepy

Pumpkin in the compost pile is looking at me

I probably should have broken down the jack-o-lanterns before putting them in the compost pile, because now the compost pile has personality. Yikes.
