HOE

HOE

to remove (weeds) by hoeing

merriam-webster dictionary

Well, that's what I did this weekend.

The grass and pigweed had just about caught

up with me. Almost told Robert to plow it all

up as I couldn't see any seedlings. Then as I

walked around, there they were! Right where

I had marked the rows(very important!) were

tiny seedlings...

Rows 5, 6, & 7 Zinnia Benary Giant Mixed,

row 4 with Giant Celosia, and rows 1,2, & 3 with

Sorghum, or Broomcorn....

Hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend.

English Peas

A reminder to place a label near

plants/seeds when you plant.

After tossing several hand fulls of pea pods to the

compost pile, I realized that these peas are English

peas. Sooo.... I've left them on the vines a bit longer

til they are nice and plump, then gather them by the

shirt full to saute for suppy.

Too bad I wasted so many. I cooked some of them while

still in the pod weeks ago, but they were tough and stringy.

Thinking they were snow peas.

I'm not sure what possessed me to open up the pod to

look at what was inside!

Very sweet and tasty. Just a bit of Smart Balance and

some peas...OH, also good raw fresh in salads!
