Finally my sweet peas are ready! After maintaining a steady grip during the cold, during the heat, and everything in between, my sweet babies have matured.
Crisp on the out side, sweet delicacy on the inside, these are worth the wait.
And easy to store. I’m freezing mine fresh — because I haven’t decided how I want to use them in the future. But when I do, I know they’ll be delicious. Already tried some.
Garden peas are especially precious in our garden as they are a limited commodity. They prefer cool weather and now that it’s warming up here in Florida, I know these sweets will be on the way out. It’s been so warm, my young broccoli are already bolting in rebellion.
Oh, well. Just another day in the life of a gardener. We take what we can get where we can get it!
Love the photos — so clear and tranquil. When I move back into a house, this is one of the hobbies I have promised myself to pick up. My grandfather is an expert gardener and just watching him is relaxing. I will be following!
Be sure to keep tabs on our new series beginning next week: “Follow Ashley and Julie’s Progress” — two suburban moms who will demonstrate how EASY and ENJOYABLE a backyard garden can be! No more excuses — it’s time we all get back to relishing the simple tranquility of nature. Care to join us? Container gardens work, too!
