As you saw yesterday, I harvested the broccoli

I think I let three go a little too long, but the fourth looks about perfect. I’m definitely thrilled considering it’s my first time growing broccoli.

Harvesting of peas, beans and cucumbers continues to be a regular occurrence. The peas are snap peas, so I tend to harvest them early, and we eat them pod and all – usually as a snack. Half of them don’t even make them in the house for Dave. They go soft really quickly, so I don’t like to bring too many in at a time.
Things have been pretty busy, so I wasn’t harvesting them as much as usual, so quite a few of them had developed good-sized peas.

So I decided – why not try cooking some up.

I sat down and shelled them all, getting just enough for two to go with dinner. They were good, but I think I prefer them raw.
Watch your brocclli, you will smaller harvests from now on as at the area where the leaf comes off the stalk, you will see small flowerets. Keep up the good garden work!

Yum! I would sure enjoy being your neighbor. Sneaking into your garden for some beans. π No, I wouldn’t do that, but your harvest is looking so good.
