Nothing better than a crisp, snappy, crunchy pea. I really like this variety of pea, SO much easier to see the yellow pod than the typical "green" pod...everything would blend together making harvesting that much harder.
I planted only enough for fresh eating. Cooked snow peas are good but I'd rather just eat them out of hand or in a salad.
Yum.
I so agree and have actually been thinking (drooling?) about snow peas a lot lately! Have you ever tried freezing them? They would be so wonderful to toss in stir fries in the winter, but I sure don't like the soggy things they become no matter how many ways/times I try to freeze them. And that's just SO inferior to having them fresh!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mama Pea---Love the peas, but really, only fresh will do. As a matter of fact, most never make it out of the garden-LOL!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! It's going to be two or three weeks before we have any peas here. The green peas are very hard to find. I grow two varieties, one purple and one blush. They are much much easier to find on the vines.
ReplyDeleteI blanch and freeze peas for the winter. I reduce the blanching time and they turn out fine.I know this is a no no by the you know who. But, who trusts them anyway???
Do you mind sharing the variety? I think they would be so much easier to see, and they look great on the vine as well. Great harvest.
ReplyDeleteThose look yummy.
ReplyDeleteThose do look good!
ReplyDeleteWish I had more beds prepared for veggies. We add more and more every year and I fill them up and need more! These 5 acres will one day be done!
These were Baker Creek Golden Sweet and I do have a hard time getting them into the house. Everytime I go out I stop by and munch on them.
