Cooler, More Rain, More Peas! (even if they are late!)

I checked the garden for a few minutes today when I got home just to see how everything is doing with all of the rain we have been getting lately. Rain is good, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing!

So, with the cooler weather and all of the rain, it seems that the peas are all doing very well! As I checked all of the peas I found that not even half of them are in bloom yet and already it looks as though I have more than last year.


I wanted to have enough peas this year to actually be able to freeze some so I planted more peas in a variety of spaces. With the weather being more cooperative than usual, it seems that we are actually going to have more peas anyway even without actually planting more. Who knew?

Usually, whoever picks the peas gets to enjoy eating the peas. If we're lucky, they will make it in the house for a meal or two, but we never have enough to freeze for later.

After looking around today, I am hopeful that I may even be able to freeze some as well this year. Now if I can just get them to hurry along so I can get my tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants in the the ground!
