Peas
Oh, the pleasure of discovering a full pea pod on your plant, the anguish of them never making it to the dinner table because you just couldn’t resist the temptation of those sweet delights bursting in your mouth right there in the garden!
If you have never grown your own, you are missing out! If they make it to your kitchen, they are best steamed or boiled and then smothered in butter or raw in salads, add them to stir fries, stews, just about anything goes.
A cool season crop that is best planted in early spring or in late summer for a fall harvest. In milder winter climates, they can be planted in fall for a winter harvest.
