In the last few days, as the thunderstorms keep rolling through, we’ve gotten 5½” of rain. We got 2¾” since Friday alone. All the plants are going crazy with all the rain.

On Thursday, 2 days ago, I harvested anything of any size of the sugar pod peas, all of it, even double checking for missed pods. Well, it looks like I must harvest again on Sunday morning, as there are plenty of big pods again.
Right next to the peas, the Anne raspberry is finally starting to color up. There’s going to be a huge harvest of these raspberries this year.
