Got My First Load Of Peas.

Actually, I am fixing the first head of broccoli tonight for dinner. I can hardly wait. We will have it with cheese sauce on it and I think that we will have a tomato out of the garden if I get out there to get it. It is so hot that I just don't want to go outside. I needed to go to the library,but I don't want to drive it is so hot.

This was going to be the year that I had a garden but it didn't happen. Congratulations on your first harvest of your marrowfat peas! They look and sound delicious! I do have my chives, some flowers and I have basil growing. Not the veggie garden I had wanted but there's always next year!

I absolutely love fresh peas. Some of my relatives are Mennonites, and we buy peas from them. My husband and I don't have a garden, because we live in an apartment. We sure wish we could have one, though. He has had vegetable gardens before, and loved them. We have the next best thing to a vegetable garden though. We live right next door to the best Farmer's Market in the world.

I've had a few strawberries from my garden, and chives in my salad, but that's it so far. Soon I'll have blackberries and raspberries to gorge on. The rest of the garden doesn't seem to want to grow this year.

Now you have me drooling, too! I would like some in a chicken pot pie. I grew some veggies over the winter and enjoyed a spring harvest, but then we went back on the road and I haven't gotten anything started yet this season. Since we were in the hottest part of the country I was able to have lettuce and tomatoes and cucumbers right through the winter. Now we are still in the desert but at a higher elevation so although it may be too warm to start them now, peas should do well here in the fall.

I didn't have any ready yet. With the rain we got they will surely have some within two months at least .Our Potatoes plant are doing well,so is the wheat and the tomatoes the beans. we harvested some of the lettuce last week and it was delicious.

Our garden is still pretty little, with a few things starting to grow. We have peas growing about 3 inches high and beans that are about 6 inches high, but so far everything is just brand new. Only a few weeks old now. We kind of need to wait until about the first week of June to plant because of frost. This year we had to wait until just after the 10th of June. We didn't actually have to be the full moon was on the 7th and that can mean frost here in New Brunswick. The only thing we have had so far are strawberries and they were the best we have eaten in many years. Store bought just doesn't seem to have that deep rich flavour.

I must confess, nancyrowina, that I've never heard of this kind of pea before, but they look very appetizing! Nothing compares to fresh veggies that you grow in your own garden. I hope that your harvest will be plentiful and you'll have enough to share.

Those look so good. I'm so jealous. I can't seem to grow anything. I have a hard time tending to plants. Maybe, you can put those in a nice rice pilaf?
