These are the first peas from my garden. They are delicious! I grew snap peas this year and their pods are a little more tender than the English peas.

Many of my garden plants haven’t fared well this year. Between the slugs and the groundhogs (and critters unknown) I’ve lost herbs, peppers, beans, Hopi Black Sunflowers, all of my okra starts, and my cucumber and zucchini are holding on for dear life. I picked up a few plants today that I’m hoping will be grown enough to withstand the onslaught: peppers, cilantro, basil, and dill. Everything has a cage around it.

My Blue Flax is flowering from the Spring Thaw box. 💙
