August update from the garden - Black Eyed Peas are ready !! If you remember, I planted my Black Eyed Peas at the end of May. Well, they not only survived the summer but have been growing so rapidly that I am now having to cut them back just so I can get along the pathways. It's a jungle out there in my garden at the moment !!   They are now producing pods like crazy, which is fantastic. I am growing them for the dried "peas" and if you also remember, the variety I am growing is an Heirloom - Bisbee Red, bought from Native Seed Search based in Tucson. http://www.nativeseeds.org/ For how to grow Black Eyed Peas, please refer to my earlier post form June 2017.   Anyway, here are the pods in all their glory.       Note smaller green pod in background, with larger "mature" dried pod in foreground.   Harvested dried pods.     Bisbee Black Eyed Peas     Some will be saved for next year'...
