Peas, peas, peas, and more peas.


Every 3-4 days, I have at least 13 gallons of peas to pick, shell, wash,
blanch, and freeze. Do this every year, but seem to have a lot more
than usual.

Not really sick of them, but they (& the work mostly) are getting rather
*old*. LOL. Was even seeing them in my sleep last night...go figure!

What have you had excess of in your garden this year that you are *sick* of?

Nothing yet, but I'm just starting to harvest.

I have a recipe someplace for a "fresh pea" soup that is tasty, cool and
minty.

I'll take that recipe, please, if/whenever you have time to find it & copy.

BTW: don't think email went thru yesterday, but you have snail mail on
the way...

Showed this AM, but I'm being lazy
