These are very special peas... they are the first ones I have ever grown that turned into something edible. Past attempts have been more bonsai like - oh so cute, but useless. Some plantings never even bothered to show themselves to the world, they just diappeared. I tried all sorts of tips and tricks, placed them in wet paper towel over night, tried different times of year, tried them direct in the bed, tried them in the seed raiser first, sang to them, danced for them (ok so maybe no singing or dancing) but this time the harvest gods were on my side and they have thrived and produced. They are tender and sweet and we are using them whole, after waiting this long I don't want to waste any part of them.

Oh well done Ally! I LOVE a first time, and there is nothing like it in the vegetable garden - there are so many firsts to be had!
How are you going to serve them?
We have steamed them and had them in stir fry, but mostly straight off the vine. Not many are making it to the kitchen. lol
