picked our first – yay. There are many reasons to grow your own veg, and one of them is for peas. Peas freshly picked from the garden are the tastiest (the ones that make it as far as the kitchen!). Even made it worthwhile picking in the wind and rain in our wellies and raincoats (flaming June eh?)
Even the sound of peas is great.. as you are podding them.. the pop and unzipping, followed by the soft drumming as they hit the saucepan.
Fans of peas.. can you tell?
That brings back memories. My dad used to sit for ages in the living room with a pan of water on a teatowel in front of him, podding peas. There was something strangely comforting about it.
