Climbing

The peas are starting to climb the stakes and trellises now. The taller they get, the faster they grow. I imagine it's mostly due to more leaves absorbing oxygen, CO2 and sunlight, providing more energy to the plant in general.

Need to get out and weed again. Still had quite a few weeds after last time I pulled them because I couldn't discern between weeds and plants. Can tell the difference now.

Other things are growing well. Should be able to harvest some lettuce this week. Some other plants have died off. Mostly melons and cucumbers. I believe it's because the temps have gotten too cold for them at night. Some green beans are going well and others not so much. Again, weather? Have to make note of which ones do best in what weather. Potatoes are growing. Much bigger plants than I expected above ground. Red cabbage is progressing. 

Got canceled from work, so after running some errands came back home and started back to working on the chicken coop. Just haven't had the right combination of time, money, materials and favorable weather for a while to finish it. Changed the design a bit as I went. The front wall will now be a large door, so the whole front swings open for cleaning, changing bedding, collecting hay, etc. Still need to cut a smaller door for the chickens into the big door but the door is assembled, otherwise. Just have to mount that and build the run, which won't take too long.

Not much else going on. Just going to watch a rented movie and get back to bed so I can get the coop finished in the morning.
