As a heart attack! Used the outdoor shower extensively. Conveniently located near the hot tub. Quite refreshing!

My cousins had an outdoor shower at their camp. But to get hot water they had a long garden hose stretched out in the sun. The first person to shower might get burned, while the last one might freeze.

I picked five gallons of peas off 4 rows this afternoon before work. That is only half the patch, but I spent too much time at my camp, so I'll have to finish up in the morning. They are really dry, so I'll put the sprinkler on them as soon as I finish picking.

Second corn crop picked and as expected was not great. I did harvest 58 small to medium ears which I sure just may keep us out of the poor house. I picked another head of cabbage that is small but sure to eat good, I'm paraphrasing but the good book says "blessed is the man who tries" thank you for another day.image.jpg

About the middle of September I bush hogged and broke under what was left of the garden.
Last week I noticed greenery.

I have peas growing where the peas were.

And corn where the corn was. However, I don't think I'll get anything off of them.

It'll get plowed under in the spring.

I picked the rest of the peas on Wednesday. Got another five gallons. We put up several quarts, and saved out a few to cook this weekend. Also on Wednesday, I saw the first blooms on the young peas. I'm pretty sure they are not going to make before frost, but I learned how late is too late. Next year I will stagger the late peas two weeks instead of three. They were much slower to bloom than earlier in the year.

I planted 50 collard seeds. 25 in rockwool and 25 in soil. Right now the soil is winning. Also did a bunch of broccoli. My first time with it, so I will be learning as I go.

Jalapenos ready on my outside to inside plants.

There are little peppers on the California Wonder Bells, but the same age plants in the swimming pool have peppers almost ready to pick.

Those Jalapeños are looking good, Larro!
