Fall Planting

I need to get some fresh pictures, but I want to post without waiting for that :) Being a procrastinator doesn't make one good at maintaining a blog!

Our garden did really well this year. We planted some of the tomatoes that volunteered in our garden and they're just starting to produce, as the summer tomatoes are fading and dying off. Today I planted two kinds of peas that I got in a seed exchange, Blue-Podded Peas and Golden Sweet Peas, and this afternoon I'll plant some Sugar Ann Peas. I have Mammoth Melting Sugar Snow Pea seeds, but I'm not sure I'll plant them because the place I've planted previously needs a raised bed put in. They need a big trellis, so I may wait until spring in the hopes of having the bed in by then.

I was really surprised when I planted peas for the greens last year and they produced peas, even though it was supposedly too warm for them to do so. The aphids tormented them, of course, but I still got some peas. My husband loves them so I hope to get a good crop this fall.
