Musing on cargo hauling...

[Eden]

I have lavender in a flower bed in front of the house - I get plenty of bees - I've been thinking of something like Nappa. I thought I had some seed for baby bok choi, but I couldn't find it. We have such cool summers it's hard to grow stuff like squash - we don't have temps consistently in the 80's at all during the summer... I tried zucchini when I first moved out here (stuff grows like mad right...) - hah - we had such a wet cool spring/early summer that all the blossoms rotted off. I think I got one squash about the size of my little finger from the plant. Tomatoes are hard too- you have to get cherry or early versions and baby them - put them near a building on the south side and cover them so they heat up. OTOH, peas do wonderfully. I grew snow peas on a tiny patch when we first moved here. I had 3 maybe 4 plants that gave me enough for a stir fry every week until it got too hot for them.
