Title: Peas
Post by: quizzical1 on February 23, 2007, 22:00:59
Is it at all possible to harvest peas, and get them to the kitchen for cooking, or do they always seem to just sort of disappear once shelled? I know mine always did in the past.

In the past i have always thought i had oversown in order to cover those that mysteriously disappear, to no avail obviously.
What is it with raw peas?
;) ;)

When decididng whatto plant this year at the allotment OH suggested not bothering with peas as the yield had been so low :( I fonly he knew ;D I have persuaded him to give them another chance - I'll just have to graze on something else :'(

My dad grew only peas and runner beans and they were in a locked part of the garden. When I was sent there to pick the peas on Sundays I had to whistle while picking them and carry on whistling while shelling them, without any breaks in the whistling  :o

I had a very crule and deprived childhood :'(

Number one son won't eat peas until he has been on the allotment, picked a bowl full himself, and shucked them himself.  Then he eats them!

Peas, strawberrys and raspberries.  Impossible to get them all home. ;D
