Peas Please

I’m very much a hit and miss vege gardener.  Last year I missed completely. 

When we came home from our big trip I wanted to plant something and peas and spinach were about the only options at that time of the year. 

We have been eating snow peas and spinach for a while, but have now started to pick real peas in the pod.

Some could have been pick last week, but life got in the way, so we picked them when we got home on Sunday. It’s hard not to eat them all straight from the plant as you go.

We picked a nice amount.

It was a lovely evening, so we sat on the back verandah and shelled them.  Just enough to freeze for three meals.

We’ll be picking them most days now for a while.  Yummo.

Mick and Biggles had a nice rest after it was all done.
