I just finished picking the first round of peas on the week-end. Those crazy pea plants have already blossomed for the second time and are already forming pods. I've never seen the second blossoms before and I didn't even realize that they would blossom twice. I know that string beans will blossom twice but even beans I never seen blossom so soon after the first picking. I'm not complaining, I'm just astonished by what my garden is doing. Having time to work in the garden really makes a big difference. I can't wait for my tomatoes to ripen now that my romaine is starting to head. The iceberg is still leafy and hasn't started to head but it will soon enough. Maybe the iceberg, the cukes, and the tomatoes will all ripen together so I can just pick-a-salad when I want it. My herb garden is coming along, except for the rosemary. The basil smells so good. Soon it will be time to pick the garlic as the stems are starting to turn brown. The thyme and the green onions are also coming along well. If nothing else, I've had a good time growing my garden and hopefully we will get to enjoy it throughout the winter.
