A Fresh As When The Pods Went Pop!

Peas
When we got home from our Cockle Cottage holiday the first thing we wanted to see was how our pea crop was doing, which Granddad had been watering for us every day in a very diligent type nature.
5 A day
The pods are now mahoosive, all beautiful, green and plump……. and ready to eat!
Harvesting peas
Nigel quickly spotted the one he wanted to try …..
Pea Pod
What is he like?
Peas please
We all felt immensely proud that one of our first ventures towards self preservation, sufficiency has been so successful ,  but realised that we wouldn’t have got to this momentous popping stage without Granddad and his watering can of  pea plumping powers
Fresh Peas
We don’t think any of these peas will actually reach a saucepan ….
Picture 358
We plan to pop them while we sit outside on the garden bench enjoying the last of the sunshiney days. Peapoddingtastic.  Noms? Off the Richter scale!!!
