Almost dreading the drive back home today.

He's been a problem for a long time, but I am reminded:
1) You can hate your countries leaders
2) You can hate those who bomb you as well
Both 1 & 2 guarantee a future generation of hate and terrorists sadly.
Eva white potatoes (x2). This year we've added a set of Burpeeana Early peas (x3) in each grow bag.
New pea for our garden, called First 13 (x56). Promises to have up to 13 peas per pod. Will report back on this as the season progresses. Expected height about 48 to 60 inches.
22 Little Crunch container peas, height about 24 to 30 inches. 42 Burpeeana Early Peas 36 to 48 inches height.
With the planet warming and an increase of growing days here in Maryland, Zone 7 we've got the urban Cassiopeia Garden and Orchard started.
9 potato grow bags completed and 3 beds of peas this weekend. My grow partner has completed pruning of the plum trees and moved on to the pears.
Put away another 2 jars (32 oz. each) of dried peas yesterday. O2 Absorber and Desiccant pack in each. Vacuum sealed them.
