R.I.Peas

Well, the peas are the first from the spring garden to wilt under the summer heat.  The fact that they lasted this long, however, is a pleasant surprise.  Allegedly, when planted from seed, peas should sprout within 7-10 days.  After our peas didn't come up for nearly five weeks, we were ready to give up on them until these appeared . . .


So, we decided to see what they would do.  We didn't expect much because we didn't think they would be able to produce any peas before it go too hot.  Peas love the cold and hate the heat.  So, we thought that even if pea pods did begin to form, they wouldn't produce any peas.  Well, we were wrong.  Check these bad boys out . . .


From these we reaped a decent little harvest.  We were even able to have enough for dinner and still have leftovers to freeze for later!


But now this is all that remains . . .
