Like you always looking to use the garlic bed after harvest. They say a cover crop helps the root zone as well. I planted beans and oats this year as well as having the winter squash vines grow on the garlic bed as well.
Those plants look great! In the first week of August I started peas , potatoes and beans. Peas never grew like yours , potatoes are still in the ground and beans are being picked several times. I will continue doing late planting in future years.
It was so hot in July I let a few of my garden beds get overrun with weeds and just let them go for the season. And now I have a bunch of volunteer peas. It is so wonderful to have fresh peas. 🫛 And yeah, they are not as big, but man, it's so awesome.
Thanks, that was a good video. I love all your little hints and ideas. We love peas a lot and I never thought of planting a second crop. I will try this next year.
We keep our bush beans in the ground and they flower again and produce again. Still picking them. Like you, I tried a second planting of peas this year but, I was not as successful as you. Your plants look really healthy. Mine began doing well but most of them dried up and died. I think it was just too hot in Aug. for them even with me trying to water well. The first planting of peas was really bothered by a pea weevil so it is nice to at least have a few in a salad now that doesn't have a worm in it. Thanks for the update!
Congratulations on the second planting of peas! I've tried it before with varying degrees of success, mostly meh - I have to be better at selecting a better spot as a lot of my garden is too shady once late September/ early October comes around with the low sun. Your peas look great! I missed my opportunity to plant a second round of green bush beans so I just cut back my first plants (sowed early June) to a maybe 4" or so after they were done producing and they sprouted again, giving me a new flush of beans in September/October, not as many as a whole fresh crop but if you're late as I was, at least some is better than none. Interestingly, cutting back yellow bush beans has never worked for me; the plants just die. I have broccoli on its way, some of which should be ready this week. And my late carrots are looking good for harvest in November.
Thanks for the kale follow up! By the way, your kale transplants look good! We have a garden expression for fall potatoes: small potatoes are better than no potatoes. I guess the same is true for peas: small peas are better than no peas.
Surprised your late planting of peas was successful, I'll have to give that a try next year. My second planting of green beans is producing heavily now and my first planting of yellow beans have flowered again and are producing as well. I'm in Tantallon.

My beets failed to thrive so I replanted late august in a failed strawberry bed. I should have just enough young beets to pickle now.
Wow - the kale is quite impressive!
Yes it recovered well!

Hi Greg. One thing Dad used to do for early frost was water early,just before sunup. Seemed to wash the frost off

Yes - I'm happy the way that kale turned out and re: the peas - you got that right!!!

Greg, do you still have a Vessey's coupon code? I'm ordering garlic and just checking to see if they are still your sponsor, thanks
