New Homes for New Plants

I have managed to get some of my new plants put into their new homes. The Diamond Frost Euphorbia looks great. I think I should get some more!

I put the new Ice Plant varieties into a hanging basket along with my original variety. Hopefully, the birds won't decide it is tastey! I had a large cast iron kettle full of ice plant on my patio at our previous house, and the House Sparrows took a liking to it. They ate all of the leaves.

I even see the beginnings of a bloom.

Pass the Peas Please!

Yippee, my cow peas, as the seed is called when I buy it in bulk at the feed store, are doing well! My Mom always called them Cream Peas. My whole family loves them, while I am the only one that loves squash, egg plant, and tomatoes--my other garden plants! The timing is good too! I'm thinking they will be ready to pick as school is letting out for the summer. They are pretty quick and easy to pick, but they are a bit time consuming to shell! I make the same mistake each year. I am anxious and pick them a bit too green. They taste fine, but they are a royal pain to shell when a little green. The pod needs to be slightly yellow and the peas loose inside!

Yum yum, it won't be long! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the bugs don't find them!

Ya'll Come Back!
