Peas


 I joined a "Seed of the Month" club last year and have enjoyed getting seeds in the mail every month.  Last fall, one of the packets of seeds I received was for peas.  I had some free space in the garden, so I planted them in early January.  I only planted 10 seeds and 6 of them sprouted.  Today I harvested 12 pea pods.  I will probably harvest more in a week or two. I shelled them and placed the peas in boiling water for 2 minutes.  They were delicious!  It was a small harvest, but I'm glad I tried peas.  Next winter I will be sure and plant more of them.
