The 3 P's

This morning at 6 am I was out investigating the garden. Much to my surprise I found evidence that we will be harvesting crops! I don't expect it to hold us through the Winter but crops just the same. And with the weather we have been having I will take anything we can get! I found that we indeed have pea pods, the potatoes are growing and we have 1 pear that I could find. Now Jeff told me we have a couple of apples also but at 6 am my eyes must not have been quite awake because I didn't see any!

This is one of those Asian Pears that you find in the grocery store with the little white plastic wrapper! Wonder where I can find one of those?


We have always had trouble with potatoes. Where to plant, getting around to planting and so on. This year Jeff decided he was just going to dig out some dirt back by the berries and put the damn things in the ground. Behold Potatoe plants....we have to get out there and mound them up!

Peas.....they have never let us down. It is not hard to grow peas here. They must like the cold wet weather. I hate cooked peas! I will eat them right out of the garden but just don't make me eat them cooked.

I couldn't let this picture get by.....this past weekend when it was pouring down rain this rose tried so hard to open. As you can tell from the water on the leaves it should have been trying to learn how to swim instead!
