Yup, I ...Hi, Jen - Thanks for the welcoming words!<br /><br />Yup, I love edible podded peas, too, but sure wish I could find a way of freezing them so they would stay crisp. Don't want much do I? Well, guess we should follow ". . . to everything there is a season" and enjoy them to the utmost when they're fresh from the garden!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-21299145656793152322010-06-19T04:55:12.081-05:002010-06-19T04:55:12.081-05:00So glad you are back!

We both agreed we'd go put on another layer and be happy!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-46183420717814241262010-06-17T08:51:07.004-05:002010-06-17T08:51:07.004-05:00Everything looks really healthy, lush and green! ...Everything looks really healthy, lush and green! I never have a problem with too many peas, we never have enough! Our timeframe is so short between too cold and too hot we are lucky for our peas to finish up before the heat sets in. I am going to start planting more and relying more on the fall crop for peas, we have a long fall and cooler nighttime temps should help. Love the new header, the baby "geeses" are getting so big!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-32355663116863036002010-06-17T08:21:38.833-05:002010-06-17T08:21:38.833-05:00Hi, Lorie - 117 lbs.!!?

Wow, hope we do as well this year!<br /><br />Hey, ThyHand - That shot of the goslings was taken weeks ago . . . wait until you see what they look like now. Post and pics comin' up later.<br /><br />Howdy, Susan - That new profile pic was one my hubby snapped last year. I had just passed out from exhaustion. Then he threw a bucket of water on me. (Tee-hee, just kidding.)<br /><br />Enjoy those six strawberries to the utmost!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-84091197954453333102010-06-17T04:41:18.039-05:002010-06-17T04:41:18.039-05:00How the goslings have grown!

I had given up on strawberries as we had a few freezes after they blossomed. But it looks like I will get about six!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-35894473764552235242010-06-16T20:05:10.299-05:002010-06-16T20:05:10.299-05:00Everything looks great and I love that header phot...Everything looks great and I love that header photo:-).You Can Call Me Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086179213614605103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-75662063121845650872010-06-16T20:01:27.005-05:002010-06-16T20:01:27.005-05:00Your garden looks wonderful.
