Leafy greens


We made a nice salad from our garden veggies


Our beans have started to blossom, as have our peas

Growing up back in Idaho, we used to plant our garden after Memorial Day because that's about the time it would stop freezing at nights. Then we could expect to get veggies until about September when the frosts would start. Here in Texas, the growing season seems upside down. I just barely planted beans and peas back in the first of October and now they are starting to bloom. It just doesn't seem right, but the fact is that there have been no frosts yet this year (we haven't even been close), and there are no frosts forecast for the near future. So hopefully we will get some more good vegetables out of our garden yet this year.

Coming from the girl who hopes the snow melts before the weekend so we can rake some more leaves: "Crazy."

That's so weird! This from a mother who still lives in Idaho and hopes it will be ABOVE freezing this weekend so she can get some last jobs done in the yard; mulch the roses, rake the leaves on the mound, and prune a few raspberries.
