Oops. We disturbed this big beautiful toad.The toad hopped over our onions to nestle down under some bean plants. We turned the soaker hose on after we were done harvesting to make sure any other plants we disturbed weren’t too upset, and hopefully that will keep the toad safely into the cooler night too.Three kinds of onion!The shadiest bed has Inca pea beans planted over Thomas Laxton sugar peas which we removed as they were getting mildewy. Now the pea beans have room to grow.Our supervisor chose a shady, cool corner.Left are the dried Thomas Laxton sugar peas for next season. To the right are Oregon sugar pod II (the original kind I had) from earlier this spring. I am going to bleach them to prevent transfer of the mildew to next season. We also put the plant waste in the city yard waste bins as their composting gets much hotter than ours.

I hope your toad doesn’t get onion breath…might have a problem getting a kiss?

Your supervisor gets the cushy spots!
As befits her very complicated job
Lucky toad and beautiful onions. Glad you have a supervisor.
