Pea Time

I didn't think our snow pea vines were going to make it through the early season heat, but they proved me wrong. All of a sudden we got a bunch of little white flowers, which turned to pea pods practically overnight (pretty cool to watch how fast they grow).

 You pick snow pea pods before the peas actually develop inside the pod - while they are still nice and flat. They taste great right off the vine but I'm going to throw some in our thai pasta dish this week.

Overall I'm very impressed with this vegetable - it produced despite the unfavorable weather conditions. I'm going to plant a second round in mid-July for a second (and hopefully larger) Fall harvest.
