Mirrormont Pea Patch

by Linda Jean Shepherd

I’ve lived in Mirrormont for over twenty years and have felt like a failure as a farmer. But last summer, a friend on the Sammamish Plateau let me use a few sunny raised beds and I felt triumphant. With the help of a wonderful summer for growing veggies, I harvested Dragon’s Tongue and other green beans, spinach, carrots, chard, kale, broccoli, potatoes, arugula, purslane, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, beets, peas, zucchini and winter squash.

Now I’m browsing catalogs from Territorial Seed and Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Companies and planning what to plant at our very own Mirrormont Pea Patch.

With hints of Spring in the air, the Pea Patch Committee is in the process of assessing interest and staking out plots. We will soon be posting an application form, but meanwhile check out our progress at the Pea Patch webpage (under Outdoors above), and contact me at peapatch@mirrormont.org if you are interested in a Pea Patch plot.
