RE:Harvest Time
My snow peas are my second planting for fall. They are about 12-18" tall. I havent seen flowers yet and if weather dosent let them grow oh well. My Fava beans have been wonderful this season. My Japanese cukes were terrific this year.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

RE:Harvest Time
I have always had trouble timing planting fall peas and did not try this year.

RE:Harvest Time
The garden is now surprising me. My corn has Finally gotten over 6' and is growing several ears. The green beans FINALLY started growing, flowered, and now there are little beans everywhere. My squash has done amazingly well. The strawberries are growing like it's spring again. Got a good 30+ berries on 6 plants right now. The tomatoes got too much water when it rained so much a week or so ago, but they are ok now, and producing again.

Wow, better late than never I guess! Not gonna be long though before stuff starts falling apart and mildewing from cold and wet. Seems you have a real fall harvest going in the meantime:cheers:bionic_one wrote:The garden is now surprising me. My corn has Finally gotten over 6' and is growing several ears.
