Peas please



Peas in the pod

Peas are one of my favourite things to grow in the garden. They remind me of my childhood, popping open pods to find delicious plump peas. Knowing when to harvest has been a bit of trial and error but recently we've had a few meals where the greens portion has been solely from the garden, not needing to be supplement by store bought vegies. These snow peas added some lovely texture to a creamy paprika chicken dish.

Today I planted out some tomatoes that I grew from seeds I harvested last year and also some cucumber seeds given to me by a friend as well as some lettuces. We have masses of celery so I pulled up three bunches and gave two away to neighbours.

Snow peas!

My snow peas seemed to have fruited overnight. Perhaps because of the sudden arrival of Spring. I picked four to add to tonight's meal and there are plenty more flowers so it would seem we'll have a glut of snow peas over the next few weeks.
