Snow Peas in June


Hurray for Snow Peas - these are Snow Wind peas - and my first attempt at growing peas. Though we put stakes and ran line for the peas to climb, apparently they grow significantly taller than we anticipated. The good news is - they will just turn south, creep down the lines and then grow north again. They have blossoms, and then out of nowhere (it seems) the pods are there. Beautiful peas. It amazes me that a $1.69 pack of seeds that had been sitting in the drawer in the kitchen for "many moons" could produce this row of goodness.

Gosh, I sure love working in the garden - seeing this food grow up from a small seed or plant. All it needs is a bit of water, a little sun, and some TLC (that means weed pulling!). Lovely.
