We are enjoying a great year for our garden. Our cool, wet summer has kept our pea plants producing late into July. Is this a blessing or a curse? A little of both I think. We planted both sugar snap peas and garden peas and have picked almost every day the last few weeks. Shelling the garden peas can get very tiresome. P. helps me though. We sit together and she has her own container. She takes a pea pod and splits it open, carefully puts the peas in her container, counts them and then dumps her container into mine and moves on to the next pod. She is very methodical about it.
We have eaten all of the sugar snap peas and shelled and frozen most of the others.
They just keep making more.
A lot of things are like that, mixed blessings, like Buzz was to Woody. "I am Buzz Light Year. I come in peas."
Tonight's dinner forecast? Peas.
