Keeping my garden alive through wind, sun and snow! Just a record of what I am doing in it, along with all the preserving and cooking from our vege patch.

Pea Straw Magic
When we put the garden beds to sleep for the winter, we covered them in a thick layer of pea straw each. With the spring tiny little shoots came up, then pea vines, and now peas! I thought they would be straw from something industrial, like peabeans, or chickpeas...I'm not sure what I was thinking actually. What came up appears to be Mangetout. Wow, today I went out and picked a colander full, and there must be at least twice this amount again, ready to be harvested.
