Here are some of our yummy peas, washed and ready to steam. Mostly we've just been pulling them off and snacking on them raw, which has been really delicious. Eating these at dinner we discovered that it's really fun to shoot peas out of the pod! The plants are drying up from the bottom up, and I don't know if this is a disease or just because it's the end of its life cycle.
Some things I learned about peas that I need to do next year:
- I need a taller support system. I used my tomato cages, but these grew about 8 or 9 feet and they're falling over. Next year I'll use bean poles or string or something.
- I need to plant farther apart between rows (which is hard to do in my raised bed). It's hard to get to the peas in the middle.
- My family needs more!
