Peas Glorious Peas

Okay - it's corny, but I love fresh peas. They only last 2-4 weeks and they taste sweet, fresh and crunchy. This year, I gave my vines more support and room to grow. They are taller than me! Next year I may try something even bigger to give them more room to stretch out. The flowers are a delicate little white blossom and the vines have pretty twists and curls.

I chose a new variety from the Botanical Interests, where I bought the bulk of my seeds this year. I like this company for its great selection of heirloom and organic seeds that are non-GMO. They have both veggies and flowers - they are family owned too. I have the Pea Snap Super Sugar Snap. Wow, say that five times - I don't think I can.


Seriously though, I think they are GREAT and my neighbor agrees too.

See them towering over everything on the left and right.

    I purchased the tomato seeds from Botanical Garden - the catalog is just beautiful!

    Keep the blog going, Tara!
