Harvest

Soooo... Where did everyone go? Facebook?

Tonight I brought in the pumpkins and squash. They weren't quite done but the deer have been poking around in there putting nicks and hoof marks in the skin.

Some of the pumpkins got eaten from the inside by stem-boring bugs. So I have about four or five that must be disposed of creatively. Target practice this weekend?

I let a whole bunch of plants go to seed. Here is where pea seeds come from... Peas! You let them dry out on the vine, then pick and take the dry peas out of the husks. This is the 'dwarf gray sugar' heirloom variety. I planted 25 seeds and let them all go. I got over 300 seeds out of them. Better yield than a Madoff fund. Yeah.

Speaking of RAJAHADAB, it's in less than a month! I still haven't been riding this year.... I already am hurting just thinking of the ride.
