1. Making nerdy plans is always fun.
2. A surprisingly good lunch.
3. After the pounds of beans the other day, I harvest berries and pea pods. The autumn raspberries are bigger than their summer counterparts, and there is a unexpected flush on the new summer canes too (I thin out the old growth to let them breath). I wasn’t going to pick any blackberries at the plot (since I can get plenty in the woods next to our house) but they’re also too big to resist, flush from the rain of recent weeks. Finally, I pick as many peas as I can see: the perfect mange tout, the ones swollen with peas and the ones that are a bit damaged (the chickens can have those). The peas plants are tiring now but unladen, we might get an additional flush on there too.
3b. The moment the pods pop open.
