Another harvest to add to my perpetual Black Eyed Pea stash. I'm so happy that the plants are reawakening for fall. They went dormant in the heat. Hopefully, I'll have enough for New Year's Day.

Started asparagus in early spring. It will take probably a couple of years before I have spears. The crowns have to be soaked overnight. Add 10-10-10, triple phosphate to potting soil, mound the soil, and spread the crowns over the mound. Cover with dirt and mulch.

Started these sweet potatoes from a Beauregard Sweet Potato back in January. It took almost three months to sprout. The sprout grew roots quickly, and I planted the slips in May. It's almost the end of September, and I'm working up the courage to dig them up soon.

Jing Orange Okra. It was the first to sprout and the first to fruit out of the 8 varieties of okra that I planted in my garden this season.

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.
But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.
It's up to us to demand something better.

Harvesting greens. Kohlrabi, Swiss Chard, Brussells Sprouts, beets, brocolli, and turnips. Also harvested turnips roots and cabbage, but not pictured. My apologies. The second time that I say beets is actually brocolli greens.

No matter what RFK Jr says, I will oppose amputations anesthetized with whiskey, bloodletting and surgeries performed by candlelight. I am not nostalgic about the illiterate Middle Ages.
