FAVA BEANS ARE DONE!

Harvest baskets 
I know this looks a bit optimistic, but we actually filled all of these baskets more than once!  We finally harvested the last of the fava beans today, and pulled and composted all the plants.  We got a lot of beans!  Good thing we decided we like these.

We also harvested more sugar snap peas today.  These are almost done but I think we can get another week out of them.  Xena loves harvesting sugar snap peas!

Harvesting beets
It is also time to start harvesting beets, they are going to seed.  I finally re planted some of the root bed... I planted more carrots and beets and green onions.  This bed just isn't thriving this year.  Not sure if it needs more water or more shade or less predators???
