Wednesday WAIWO 07--10-13

And there go the fireworks!
And yes, I invariably took the picture either right before the spectacular display - or missed it altogether!

  • Finished weeding the rest of the peas.  Blast!  only maybe 3 peanut plants!  NEXT year - I plant ONLY Mammoth Sugar pod, the yellow Indian pea pod and the climbing snap pea.  For short peas - I'm not sure what!  Maybe dwarf sugar pod????  or maybe a dwarf snap pea?????  Do love the shell peas - but so do the birds!
  • Harvested all the raspberries - which are starting in - ate more than I put in the bowl.  Gosh they're good!  Still and all - not that many - will need to buy in the raspberries ASAP (same for strawberries! And definitely the blackberries)
  • Think I will get one of those bird net tents this fall - maybe several - one for the cherry tree (they were GOOD!) and one for the peas next year and one for all my salad stuff next year!  Right now my backyard looks like a bird wildlife preseve - I've been feeding them so well!  Grrrrr!
  • Beans are coming in - will pick tomorrow I think - first picking - yum!  And the sweet corn is tasseling - which is why I'm all clogged up (I'm allergic to sweet corn when tasseling!)
  • Still need to get those poor flowers in - I think tomorrow is planting day since I'm done with this round of weeding!
  • Have moved pantry shelves into laundry room - setting up dehydrator there - not sure if that is a good idea or not - will try it.  It WILL give me back my dining room table though!  Now to figure out WHERE to stash that greenhouse thingy!  And what I plan to do with it for next year!  I may just go with grow lites inside instead - which only makes sense! And sell the greenhouse thingy which is in great shape - unless you check the guy wires - which are now a big mess!  OR I could pack it away for IF I ever move ------nah!  Sell the derned thing or give it away!
