A Post about Picking Peas

The weather has been HOT this week! We hit 99° and had lots of wind. The poor garden looked a bit wilted at times during the day – especially the newer plantings. The peas, however, seemed unaffected by the conditions which is strange as I thought peas were a cooler weather crop. I managed to pick almost a pound. Some of the peas never made it to the scale as I seem to eat as I pick and then I also shared a few with the chickens. There are lots more peas on the vines so fresh peas will be part of our meals for a little while longer.
