Mini Harvest

A mini homestead means a mini harvest as well. Our neighbors here in the sub-division might be surprised to learn that we have peas growing out front in our little stepped garden area next to the  driveway, but they probably already think we're a bit odd anyway. Actually, they may not even realize that there's anything there at all, as the huge lavender bush blocks the view of everything behind it quite well. But, yes we have peas and so far, we've been able to enjoy them for dinner several times. Though there aren't as many as I would like, at least there are some this year - last year they did not fare well at all, so this is a big improvement over that.

The cherry tomatoes that were started indoors are in an Earth Box on the back deck and are doing well, as are the pole beans in the raised bed.
