planting peas for fall

 Well I finally DID it  .  Im trying to  get a  crop of peas in  for the fall ...   I soaked em and  inoculated em and  planted some at the base of my   10 foot tall Jerusalem artichokes  ( though the soil there is the very DEFINITION of dry shade   being as its a  raised bed to begin with )  .  I DID  put a bit of water holder in with them though ...  

The others   I   planted in a flowerbed  (  Ill make a makeshift Teepee  if they come up and  act productive ...  if not theyre good soil enhancers )  

 and im thinking of  planting another bag in the raised bed where the beets were and the  giant pumpkin came out of that currently holds a collapsed trellis  .  I can throw a  pea net over th e trellis and allow them to climb ...  


I have never gotten fall peas before  have YOU  all ?    Im not sure if I can  considering the limited amount of sun in  my backyard  between the brownstones garden and the   fact that  the sun is markedly on the decline now ...  

Any tips and tricks would be very much appreciated .   

The ones I planted a month ago in the front never yet came up ( the heat ? )  Maybe they will now that the weathers  suddenly cooling off ...  

My husband and Father in law want me to do something with the flower boxes on the deck for the winter too ...   so I guess I'll start    flowering Kale transplants   and  red   cabbage transplants  ( which make the most AMAZING  blue colored leaves over the winter )    .. 

I can't  BELIEVE   how tasty the  squash is   (  OHH  heaven is a baked DELICATA  on a plate !!  ) and how the heirloom tomatoes have come in .  Who has tomato recipes ?   This is  a typical day's   harvest  from my very small garden ...   how lucky AM I  ?  Andit was PRACTICALLY   no work .... the plants  are so EAGER To grow and produce ..and NOTHING  edible  could be less fattening or better 4   ya ! 

You are amazing!  The tomatoes look great!

Mmmmm!
Looks great! You really do have a green thumb!

 Thnaks   the gardening thing is really FUN   and keeps me finding creative and healthy ways to USE the produce  .

The first few years I grew a garden i mainly gave  the results AWAY  lol ...because i had no clue  how to cook /preserve the bounty  but I've LEARNED  . 

And  we eat far more healthy vegetables ( and a greater variety of them ) because they are so readily available .  

For me  , an invetarate  foodie  it gives a HEALTHY   focus  too   ... rather than  say BAKING   or making more  fatfree  but  still calorie filled  main dishes  ...
