| One of the things I like to play around with, is saving seed from this years garden to plant in next years garden. I planted a short row of heirloom peas just for the seed this year. I think every one of my adult kids came in with a handful of fresh picked peas and said, "Mom you forgot to pick your peas." ~geesh~ It is never hard to find someone to help shuck the seed out when they are dry...... Kids and adults love the job :-) |

Hmm, I never forget to pick peas! but I like the fresh ones that are sweet and green they would never make it to seed
ReplyDeleteI think all "kids" are the same!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteBut they were just trying to help!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteI love planting heirloom and saving seed too. There's just something special about plants, especially food, coming from your own seeds. I sure miss not having a garden this year.

fernvalley01....that's the main reason to plant peas----letting the grandkids pick them from the vine and eat them :-)
ReplyDeleteA Quiet Corner....yes all "kids" are the same. Those peas were callin' their name LOL.
Candy C....hmmmm, trying to help or thinking in the back of their head "Mom's really losing it these days, she didn't even pick her peas!" LOL!
Dicky Bird....heirloom beans and peas are the easy ones.
Bee Lady....I agree -- there's a "farming gene" in me that loves to produce the food (or flower) from my own saved seed.
I've never planted peas but I sure love to eat them :) I am lucky in that my father in law always shares some of his with us.
