Since there was going to be no garden this year, I planted beans, peas, and buckwheat as cover crops. The beans and peas add nitrogen to the soil and the buckwheat breaks it up or something.
The beans have given me one good crop but it looks like the last of them already. But the purple hull peas are exploding.
Funny thing is, the patch is full of big, black ants. And if I accidentally pick one of them along with a bean, they bite.

Last week I tried Thai Green Curry by Cookie and Kate. It looked lovely--asparagus, carrots and spinach in a green curry paste--used very little oil, and tasted great. It's a keeper!
