Wed Garden Update

I went out into the garden this morning
after feeding all the animals.


The okra is in bloom!


These are in the little bed along the back
fence, in with some purple potatoes and
some corn Kyle planted for fun.
And a random volunteer sunflower.


I harvested enough okra from all the beds
to have a good breakfast and also freeze some
for another day.


We are finished with the rattle snake beans.


The ones that are left we are leaving on the plant
to dry so we can save them for seed for next season.


The blackeyed peas are still covered in flowers,
although they are also covered in beans,
and some of them are already dry!
(The leaves got a lot of beetle damage, but it didn't affect
the yield, so we didn't worry about it...)


It's doing all three stages at once!
I was going to pick the rest of the pintos this morning
but they aren't quite dry enough yet.
Maybe another day or two...
