Jungle Book

I mentioned we'd had a lot of rain. It's rained almost non-stop from mid-May until mid-July. The garden was insane, because it was too wet to get out there and do anything.

The pic above shows the peas and broccoli in the bed on the right. The broccoli has kind of fallen over into the path. The bed on the left has potatoes, also falling over into the path. And weeds galore! This was the scariest part of the garden after the rains, 'cause you couldn't really walk into it to get it cleaned up. I pulled out the rotten broccoli, and the peas, which were pretty well done, and now the bed is ready for another planting. I'm thinking carrots and maybe some greens, and a few test broccoli to see how they do here as a fall crop.

The peas got heavy and my string trellis broke and everything tumbled down. I've learned that although string is fine for pole beans, peas do better with something more substantial, like jute.
