Today's harvest (i.postimg.cc)

Between earwigs and wildlife this year, the only plants producing are the ones in my porch boxes. The cucumbers are gherkins so I’ve been picking them small so I can make them into sweet pickles. I have 3 jars put up already and enough cucumbers to make #4 this weekend. I just wish I had a small deep pot to can in, it’s such a waste to pull out my big canner. But until I can find one that at least fits pint jars I have to keep using the big pot.

I planted more peas this week and plan to do some more fall planting this weekend. I’m about 2 weeks behind but better late than never.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the leaves in the photo are just for our bunny’s breakfast. Although I will soon be drying some raspberry and blackberry leaves for her to enjoy in the winter.

My peas all died except for like 2 vines so I had a crop of 4 sweet peas so far... Rough heat.

But looks like a good enough spread to be proud of to me.

Thanks! Our peas did better than I was expecting, but I think it’s because they’re behind the netting that goes around our in-ground garden, so they ended up shaded from the sun.
