Zach and I Pull What's Left Of The Peas.
I had planned on pulling the remainder of my pea crop last weekend, but the plants kept producing–a pod here, a pod there–and I couldn’t bring myself to rip them out. But the garden clock is ticking, and I knew I need to put the pea real estate to good use. So, with Zach’s help, the pea crop came out this afternoon with three forceful yanks.
I decided to go the easy way and buy deeply discounted seedlings from my local garden center. Unfortunately, I waited until the pickings were slim. I purchased and planted a half dozen sad looking cauliflower seedings and 4 celery plants. I’ve never planted celery so I’m looking forward to watching the plants mature.
I’ve also seeded the old spinach beds with carrots-twice–and germination is spotty. In past years, I’ve had good luck with July carrot plantings. I’m wondering if the rains have washed seeds away? We all know it can’t be the heat this summer! I may pop up to the garden before work this week and drop a few more carrot seeds in the ground.
What are all of you planting in late July?
