Yes, that's right!!!! A pea harvest!! After such a roller coaster ride, they're here, they're really here!
Lots on the way, but so far have harvested just a dozen or so, spread out over the past week, and shared with the dogs of course. Most of the plants are well over the top of the frame now; I assume they will flop over at some point given the lack of support up there.
One pea plant died. I noticed the leaves were dried up and it was wilted; checked the root, and I was able to pull it right out with hardly any effort. Hope it's nothing contagious!
The peas I've had so far, while I won't dare complain, mostly weren't particularly sweet. I wonder if I'm picking them a bit too soon. The plumpest one was the sweetest one, so will try to be a bit more patient to see if that's the key.
