Snow Pea Harvest

It's been a little while since I've posted anything. I've been busy knitting dish cloths. They're coming along really well. It's winter here and the garden is always a bit slow in the cold season but I do have some exciting news to share about my first snow pea harvest! I planted my snow peas in a pot from seed and I was beginning to wonder...would I ever harvest these things!

My snow pea pot sits on the steps of my bungalow beside the clothesline so every time I went out to hang my clothes I'd check to see if any snow peas were popping out..and one day there was a teeny tiny one :)

Their taste is far superior to anything I'd ever bought from a supermarket. They are smaller, crisp and not stringy at all. My daughter loves them too. They are yet to make it into the house!

There are still many flowers on the plant and many more snow peas for my daughter and I to enjoy :)

It really was very easy to grow. All it took was an old pot found in the garden, some potting mix, seeds and covered up with some mulch. I tried to create some sort of tee pee for the plant to climb on. This was created by finding some old, long branches or sticks in the back yard...nothing fancy at all. I wasn't even that regular with watering. When I thought about it I gave it some Seasol (maybe once a fortnight). When I plant this again I will mix the potting mix with some compost to see if the results differ..I'm sure they will. How's your snow pea harvest going ?
