| Lots of Sugar Snap Peas |
I had no idea these things were so prolific. You can pick them all one day, or think you've got them all, and come out a day or two later and there are more of them all over the vines. The Oregon Giants seem to be very good at hiding until they're huge. You can think you've got them all, then find a monster one in plain sight just a few inches from your nose.
Cindy spent yesterday morning blanching most of the crop and preparing to freeze it. She also took off some of the tougher pods (the gigantic ones I missed while she was gone) and chopped them up to go into the compost or to feed to the worms.
We're getting a bit tired of peas, but that seems to be one of the hazards of eating what you grow; the first peas or beets or tomatoes of the season seem so delicious, but after a while it gets to be, "Oh no, tomatoes again?" But after the vines are done for the year and you don't have fresh tomatoes again for many months, they taste great again. You can freeze peas or beets again and have some later in the year, but you just can't do that with tomatoes.
