Peas are climbing the new pea fence and are chest high and blooming. Potatoes are up and growing. Eating lettuce, onions, spinach, a few radishes and turnips. Few strawberries and pick some rhubarb and cherries yesterday.

Have one tomatoe as big as a tennis ball (From the one I started early in the new greenhouse) Others need to be caged.

Planted beans: green, lima and soup earlier in the week.

Also squashes and transplanted all the cabbage family into square foot area: Brussel spouts, brocolli, cauliflower.

Today’s list just gets longer and longer...but it’s suppose to rain and the HD crew should be here to put in new garage/shop door. At least we shoud have a good test of the repaired roof Rubin, Jacob, Levi and Marvin did this week.

PEAS! We have 700 acres of them planted around us this season. Last year it was sweet corn, this year peas for the canning company.

Man, that's going to be a bounty! Wa-Hoo! They always share with us, as they have an easement through our property to get to the 'back forty.'

Except for Marvin, your crew sounds like they all just stepped out of the Old Testament. :) I don’t remember anybody named Marvin in the Old Testament.
