Raining Peas

Well not exactly, but... on Thursday it was raining and we had peas. It wasn't raining when we first went to the farm, although Buddy and Rick eye the sky apprehensively. Notice that we're still wearing coats and hats in late May.

We had ample reason to be wary. We sat out the worst of the rain in the playhouse.

Bleah! Where are our warm summer days?

It almost looks like peas are growing from the tomato plant. We've planted them pretty close together, counting on the peas to finish before the tomatoes get big.

Rick checks the growth. These Black Cherries are quite tall and vigorous, despite the cool weather.

And every plant is setting fruit.

The peas are just lovely. This is the inside of a fully formed Paso. The peas are tiny, but utterly delicious.

We've been shelling and eating them daily.
