My big thing is peas. Last year I tried fall peas for the first time. It worked, but the string trellis between two plastic poles was not exactly sturdy. So this year I put my construction skills to work, using plumbing pipe. Here's a picture:
Did it work? Well, so far it's survived a hurricane, tons of rain, and the peas are now one-third of the way up. And no sign of any problems. Did I mention that there are some pea pods showing? This looks good.
Meanwhile, I've planted Kale and Kholrabi for the fall. With less sunshine these will grow more slowly---we'll see what we get.
The grape vine suddenly started growing a lot in August. I put up some trellises for it to grow on, but I can see it has the potential to take over that back wall. Look for some grapes next year!
