Pea Flowers

The first few pea flowers are starting to appear, both the tall sugar snap peas and on the smaller shelling peas as well. Maybe in a week or so we’ll get our first taste of fresh peas from the garden. Gardening is kinda like planning a vacation: half the fun is getting there. When all the planning, researching and time invested finally comes into fruition, it’s kinda of an empty feeling. As soon as I harvest the peas from their garden boxes I’m planning on replacing them with bush beans. But for now, I’m dreaming of peas. I’m hoping I will have enough for at least 1 batch of canned peas for Thanksgiving dinner.
