Snow Peas Blooming!!

[rebbetzin]

This year the snow peas are very strong and healthy looking. We got some rain on Friday! All the plants are now very happy!!

Here is a leaf catcing some much needed rain.

Look the size of this leaf... telling me lots of nitrogen in the compost...
I hope they get flowers!!

My Gypsy would say the peas are ready to eat. She tried a flower and found it had the same taste as a pea. She tried the pod and found it had the same taste as a pea. Seems I never get shelled peas anymore. Little 'vermin' clear the vines long before shelled peas are ready. That's a result of having a vegetarian mother I suppose -- they zoom in on anything growing. I wonder what pea leaves taste like?

Oh nice! So awesome to see something green and growing, we got another 5" of snow last night. :/

Linn, you could show Gypsy how nasturium leaves are edible . . . Pea leaves - the end of the tendril, get 'em while the bloom is fresh or just as a tiny pod begins to form. Very, very nice . . .

Now, you'll have a "grazed" pea crop!

I knew this thread would make be jealous, Rebbetzin! I can't even see a green leaf outdoors - altho' I guess the snow might be going and we may have a brown Xmas . . . Oh wait, there are those evergreen trees off to the south!
