Today I stopped by the barnyard garden to plant some more potatoes. With about 40% of them rotting in the ground using some we already had we are going to replant some of the bare areas. I ended up planting 2 rows of blue potatoes and then 10lb of whatever variety someone else had. I also slipped in another 100 Spanish onions.
While I was there I checked on my own plot. The peppers are doing better than they were lots of new growth on them and they needed to be weeded badly. No peppers yet but I do expect to see some in the next week.
The peas are doing great. There are beautiful purple flowers on them and even a few tiny blue pods. I'm planning on picking them as snow peas to add that great color to salads or raw to a stir fry. The plants aren’t attaching themselves to the towers like I thought they might. I did add some string for them to cling to but even then I didn’t have enough of it apparently. In the future all climbing peas need a very small diameter surface to wrap their tendrils around.
