And now I will have much fun thinking of you beetling around Ohio in your pretty silver beetle.<br /><br />Peawise things are not so great here as it has been too dry and as a result I have hardly any peas to shell. But fortunately there are many veg that are really doing well in my potager so we won't go hungry yet. ;-)Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-13657664989887684972009-06-30T18:17:45.616-04:002009-06-30T18:17:45.616-04:00I didn't get anything planted on time this yea...I didn't get anything planted on time this year. It's hard seeing as we have to move as soon as we sell the house. But I do have tomatoes, beans, watermelons, and pumpkins. <br /><br />I got some fresh peas at a local farmers' market last week.

I thought you were going to say the last time you planted peas the rabbits ate the plants, which has happened to me. <br /><br />I don't grow peas every year, either, but this spring I planted a 4 foot row of a tall growing edible pod pea against our fence. It has produced well. I have had to shell some that filled out, and then I just cooked them all together.

And congratulations (almost) on your 35th with Romie! :) <br /><br />Btw, I just realized that I planted regular peas instead of just snow peas this year--only because I let some go past the small, flat stage where I usually eat them fresh out of the garden, and discovered actual peas inside the puffed-up pods. lol. So I'll be doing some shelling, myself, this week...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-39653034718039892082009-06-29T15:27:36.548-04:002009-06-29T15:27:36.548-04:00My brother and I used to eat pea pods like that ou...My brother and I used to eat pea pods like that out of my grandmas backyard.

I love sugar snap peas but they are challenging for me to grow...seems I never get them out at exactly the right time to get peas before the heat hits. <br /><br />But the heat is beloved by the Purple Hull Peas that are my all-time favorite pea. Yum! But like you mention, it takes a LOT of peas to get enough to cook!

All I know is that I had them in plastic freezer containers and I don't think we've used them for a while--and it was before this house--so Oh..my gosh that makes it close to 21 years!! LOL<br />Mine are doing great and my husband helped me shell last night.

Even when I wasn't a "real" gardener, we always put out a veggie garden. It would be really hard for me to imagine life on Our Little Acre without one, no matter how small. Gotta have my beans, beets, and corn!<br /><br /><b>Janet ~ </b>I really love my Beetle and hope to be driving it for many more years. It has about 90,000 miles on it right now and hopefully I'll be able to put that many more on it.<br /><br /><b>Gail ~ </b>Peas really do taste best when you can pick 'em and eat 'em right there in the garden. My girls had no idea you could eat them raw like that! Of course, they were surprised at how good they were.<br /><br />So you don't grow vegetables either? For some reason, that surprises me! You should try growing just one veggie next year, just for fun. :-)<br /><br /><b>Bren ~ </b>Oh I love my Bug, too! When I got it, and drove up in it the first time when visiting Kara at college, the first thing she said to me was, "Oh Mom, not just any mom can drive a car like that. It's so YOU!" I took that as a high compliment.<br /><br /><b>Linda ~ </b>Don't you love it when one thing reminds you of something else like that? I mean, really...peas and Beetles just go together, don't they? LOL.<br />It's been kind of fun growing peas again. I'm sure we'll grow them next year, too. The vines are starting to decline now, with all the hot weather. Everything has its season.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-42130912951641176512009-06-28T17:16:05.101-04:002009-06-28T17:16:05.101-04:00Wonderful story Kylee.

It's funny how our memories weave together so peas can remind you of the neat story of how you got your bug.<br /><br />I have fond memories of push-starting a close girlfriend's red '66 bug every time it stalled at a stop light - ah, the good old days!<br /><br />This is my first year in many growing peas again. Peas grown at home, like tomatoes, are in a class of their own.
