Trying Out Some Peas

We dodged the frost and our red raspberries are looking great. They are still producing and when I was out picking the bees were out working right next to me. We had fabulous weather on the weekend and took advantage of the time. My husband tilled a field that was done producing. He had a bright idea - why not try some peas?

So we planted some peas. We'll see if they produce. If our fall planting works we'll have peas in November.

Frost Possible?

A cold front has come through and the weather forecast is calling for mid-30 temperatures. Farming is at the mercy of the weather. There can be extremes - like tonadoes and hurricanes. But the changes that come like tonight can really affect a crop. Will it frost? We don't know!

We are currently picking red raspberries. If we have frost it could damage any less developed berries. The nearly ripe ones should be okay because it won't be too cold.

We have tomatoes that we are still picking. But those are in a greenhouse so they'll be okay tonight!
