Yesterday, I conducted my annual spring ritual of planting garden peas, English peas as some folks call them. I probably expended more energy prepping the bed than I will get from eating the peas, but I didn't want to discontinue my spring ritual. Besides, I should be able to plant a fall crop of some sort in the same bed without a lot of additional work. We've gotten a nice rain today to water them in.
Planting peas is a nice experience... ...the fresh earthy smell of the soil, the air that is still cool with spring, a lady bug on my shoulder...
If all goes well, in about 2 months, I should be getting a wonderfully fresh taste from the garden.
I've never grown bean or peas, but I sure like them. Looks like they would be easier to pick with the fence type. I have picked a few, but not many.
