a midsummer's night dream about peas

Posted on June 21st, 2020 by John Eisenstein

Pictured above is a "Tokyo Bekana" cabbage that didn't get harvested in time, now exploding in an unruly riot of growth and color.  Pretty, no?  Sometimes there is a tension between what we as growers want a plant to do and what the plant wants to do.  This wasn't a problem with the peas.  They were very well behaved, despite the cold April, and have produced many pods.  I se them when I close my eyes.

In other news zucchini are in and the first cabbages.
