Late summer squash fail...

The straight-neck yellow summer squash recently planted did not germinate.

Trying in their place (12" container") some of Jung's "Tricolor Bush Bean Blend" from seed box (which I am heavy purging today... found seeds from 2002).

Seed packet was marked for 2005, so hopes are not high, but they listed "52 - 56 day" from seeding, so it is possible. Since they're in a container, if we have possibly frosty nights, I can move them into the garage. Grew them successfully at Sackchewsky's back in 2007.

Fall Sugar Snap Peas

Pulled the burnt-out remnants of the non-vining Blue Lake pole beans from around the antenna support pole and planted Sugar Snap Peas, which were very successful container-grown this spring/summer.

Hoping for a decent crop before frosts set in, since they like the cool weather. The pole and peas would be easy to wrap against frost if an early frost comes to visit (always does, thanks to our micro-climate).
