Pea Pickin'

 I picked the third and final dish pan full of peas today.  I put 20 pints in the freezer which is not bad considering I only planted half as many as I usually do.  I just had to be careful not to waste any.  Whatever I miss gets collected as dry seed when I pull the plants.  There won't be many this year, but that is OK since I have a little backlog of peas.  I do have to be careful though because these Penelope Peas are getting hard to find.  These have been by far the best peas for me so I don't want to lose the strain.
