Garden update

I have very confused peas. I wonder if it's a good idea that I've sown more of them this year than I did the last, given how confused they are. Annie, this is your warning. The peas are confused.

Explanation: Most vegetables are annuals. Peas are annuals. They sprout, they grow, they flower, make peas, and die. Like cucumber and tomato and bunch of other normal stuff. Having planted them late last summer to appease my mom, when the cucumber and tomato plants have died off I said to myself that okay, peas are a cool season crop, I'd give them a few more weeks and then start planning for next year.

I was just in the garden and the peas from last year are flowering and I've managed to harvest another handful of peas. It's...not just the mild climate, because plant life cycles don't just depend on climate, otherwise the cucumbers'd still be alive too. The peas are not dead. They don't plan on dying. They are very stubborn about not dying. I wonder if something's awry with their biological clock because they're supposed to be gone a month ago. Huh.

Otherwise: planted green onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a variety of flowers today. Will attempt to save mom's plant which is dying from over-watering (as in half of the root system have rotted off) but don't know how that will turn out. The ants have gotten to what's left of my potting soil and the weeds are attempting to take over the vegetable patch. I pulled out a dandelion whose root diameter is nearly the size of a silver dollar and...wow, I didn't know they could get that big.

I wonder if the good weather'll last.
