Easy Peasy

Oh my - fresh peas from the supermarket taste just great. But fresh peas - picked a few seconds ago from your back garden – well they just taste sublime. Tiny little green spheres bursting with the taste of summer. None have made it to the kitchen yet...

Yip-Pea!

Well, would you look at that! A yummy, deelish, hard to keep your mitts off, baby pea! This is our first year of growing peas, thinking about it I have no idea why we didn't grow them last year, I mean, they have to be one of THE best tastes of the summer. Nothing beats eating raw peas out of their pods.

We've gone for a dwarf variety and they're doing brilliantly. To be honest, we hadn't noticed the pods growing, we'd just been looking at the lovely white flowers. It took us a little by surprise but now, every day I pop out and check how they're doing. I absolutely cannot wait for the first peas ready to eat. They are SO not gonna make it as far as the kitchen!
