My beans (just my yellow ones, green are behind) and blueberries are just almost not-quite nearly ready for a first picking . . . and your beans are done and you've been snarfing up blueberries for 6 months already! Not fair. Your bike ride sounds wonderful. Happy pedaling!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-25062302269228161472014-08-13T04:52:39.369-05:002014-08-13T04:52:39.369-05:00Though it's hard to deal with right now, oh ho...Though it's hard to deal with right now, oh how YUMMY all that good food is going to be in the dead of winter. Think of all the stews bubbling away on the stove made with all Mama food. Can't beat that . So shell, shuck, pluck, and chuck---it's all worth it!<br />After a two day deluge, it's going to be 72 and sunny here. The beans are DONE--so after blueberry picking , dear hubby and I are going for a LONG bike ride.

It's just a matter of finding enough hours in the day, isn't it?<br /><br />I never have much luck with fall planting because our first killing frost usually hits before those plants can amount to much. But, as usual, I did already put in some lettuce, salad greens and spinach hoping to get something from them.

I don't want to be pessimistic but I still don't think there's any way my winter squash or pumpkins will have a chance to make it this year. But we can live without those, that's for sure.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-75167756617452783202014-08-12T21:12:35.241-05:002014-08-12T21:12:35.241-05:00Mark - I'm betting your harvest season will be...Mark - I'm betting your harvest season will be just fine.
