From mullein forest to pea patch. The super sunny spot near the east fence got replanted while I still have a couple months of decent growing.
The compost pile needed more nitrogen so it got the mullein leaves, but the super thick stalks will go into city yard waste so I don’t have to hack them up. The flower tops need to hang and dry completely (I have a use for those) and the smaller stalks can be wax dipped to make great hag’s tapers.
These Egyptian peas are green, but the pods are dark purple. Trying a fall season crop of peas is new to me, but my microclimate has a late enough autumn frost date (early to mid November) that it’s completely worth a shot. I put down screening down to protect the seeds and hopefully I’ll see sprouts in the next two weeks. Once I get baby pea shoots, I will put string up on the poles for the peas to climb.
