Mother Nature is an amazing woman. All summer, our pea plants struggle to establish themselves. The odds were against them, the conditions too dry and scorching. But take a look at the photograph with the ugly, shriveled watermelon vine and what do you see? A thriving pea plant! Here is an important lesson, never giving up no matter the odds.
Today was partial Fall clean up day and as you can see by the pictures, much was cleared away. But why touch something that is doing so well? So the tomatoes stayed, some herbs, the pea plant and the beautiful marigolds. A note on the marigolds, I have been told that these plants are wonderful self-seeders so perhaps we will have marigolds a plenty next year as well!
