Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Coyotes adapt to city living surprisingly well

This isn't city living at all. 45 minutes to nearest city. But I think there are so many forest and uninhabited areas full of prey that they have enough space without coming in here. At any rate, I've never seen nor heard one here in 11 years.

None have been seen buy me here. Not sure the dogs could handle them.
Had to send DH back to the hospital he has lost so much weight.

Oh no. What is happening with him now? Pray all is well with him.

He has lost so much weight looks like a old women.
I think he has given up.

I hope he gets some on quick

 

[pennyJo1960]

Just seems he has given up not sure but do believe that now.

I’m so sorry Penny Jo.

If we can do anything for you please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re not that far away.

Isn't it early for the peas? I think they will come up in May. But, I'm not the master gardener here, you are.

Not early at all, I seed peas as early as February depending on the forecast, they can even survive some snow as long as they haven't yet sprouted. But March is usually a safe bet.

I save a few large pods at the end of each year for starter seed the next.

How about green beans. Same? Or later?

Mom always has done peas as soon as ground can be worked. They can handle some cold.

They drown here so I have to wait for it to dry some

Peas that come up early can survive freezes...

But green beans cannot. They have to be planted after danger of frost has passed, and after the ground has warmed up some.

I think voles or mice ate a lot of the pea seeds I planted in February. Or they rotted in the ground. I got most of the empty spots filled in with seeds I had left over, but still need to buy another packet. Might even plant a couple rows somewhere else.

I had frozen peas to eat most of last winter but could've eaten a lot more. And I still have close to a gallon of green beans in the freezer I need to eat by August or so.

One bag of the green beans (rattlesnake beans, actually) were blanched before I froze them. The other bag I froze unblanched, just rinsed, trimmed and froze. They were just as good quality-wise in my opinion. I won't blanch beans or peas again before freezing, same as with the whole tomatoes I freeze.

And it rained like heck for an hour or so around noon today. I bet an inch fell.
